I loved going to IWU. The friends I made there will last my lifetime, I met my wife there, and I became an overall better person during my time there. That said, it is also just a giant bubble that is cutoff from the surrounding town. It felt elitist in this way, and in the way that some faculty members presented their philosophies. Being a Christian university, it was bound to have its flaws, but I met some of the most racist, sexist, and homophobic people in my life at IWU.
