The Hoosier Link program offers more than a guaranteed transfer to IU. It gives you an opportunity to experience two campuses. You'll be ahead of other IU transfer students by getting involved and exploring the IU campus from the start.
Hoosier Link is such a good way to transition into college life. I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet such amazing people and form meaningful and lifelong connections!
