My exciting American jaunts!
Lines:
I have been to Bloomington. I wasn't that impressed, because I feel like a lot of college towns are the same. Then again I am also used to an urban campus. I don't really go to bars a whole lot, so that's not really an interest for me. (The bar I used to frequent had a quieter, older crowd and decent food, the other bars in the area were far too loud and full of annoying people.) And the thing about good food is you can pretty much find it anywhere if you just look for it and/or ask around.
Redball:
IU has a good performing arts program, I recall, although I don't know what opportunities to see and hear exist in late summer.

I went to college in Indiana, Valparaiso University. Not much up that way, and too close to Gary for my taste haha.
My sister, Lynn, majored in French and minored in German and had quite a few friends from different countries because the college's international program was pretty big. So one time, some of her German friends flew to America to visit and they drove partway to our house (we lived in Illinois). When they finally got to our house, they were telling my sister that they saw "Indiana police". Lynn said, "Yeah, they're everywhere," and her friends said, "No, we were IN Indiana police!" Of course the wrong realization dawned on my sister and she thought they meant that they'd been picked up and ended up in a police station. She freaked out and it took some explaining for her to finally realize that they meant the capital, Indianapolis.

Compared to the alternative places I could have spent my summer (basically either parents' house), this is a thriving metropolis. Within walking distance there are two parks, two or three cafes with wifi, a library with ditto, an outdoor swimming pool and several interesting shops, and the church I'm planning on attending is only 15 minutes away by bike. Plus hopefully I'll be able to drive Edith's car sometimes (it needs to go to the garage first, it's being badly behaved) so even more things will be close. This is exciting!
Carl-E:
May, I forget - where in Indiana are you?
Please don't say Terre Haute...
