I faced lots of struggles freshman year, learned from them, and now love school.
About Luke
I’m a finance major at Indiana University Bloomington involved in Greek life and the Technology Consulting Workshop, and I play intramural sports. When I arrived at IU, I knew no one, and it took me some time to find my footing. Mentors and upperclassmen helped me turn things around. I now make videos for students and parents who want a clearer picture of college life, and I’m happy to talk about freshman year, making friends at a big school, and the parts of IU that campus tours can miss.
