IU Bloomington


This weekend I was in Bloomington, IN and I realized how beautiful it is! I had been there before but it was during the winter. I had never been to IU Bloomington for the fall season, which was when I heard it was so beautiful. The campus, especially during the fall, is gorgeous. Just to take a trip there in order to see the surrounding views would be worth it.

We went to the main strip, Kirkwood, at night on Saturday and it was so lively. The area has so much to offer that I think I could spend a day there alone. The strip has a ton of clothes stores that range from IU gear to the newest trendy outfits. Aside from the clothes stores they have many other shops that sell furniture, lamps, accessories… it was great!

Besides the shops, there are tons of restaurants and bars to go to. We went to Malibu Grill for dinner and it was so good. Everyone at my table couldn’t stop talking about how good their meal was- and we all had different plates. The food there is a little pricy- I’d say to expect $15 a person- but it is so worth it. The menu has chicken, steaks, pork chops, salads, pasta, and much more. Almost anyone could find something to eat in there. If you decide to walk down Kirkwood and eat at Malibu Grill, I would highly recommend the Thai Chicken Linguine. It wasn’t too spicy but it had just enough kick to it that gave it the perfect flavor. Also, if you go, the only reservation you can make is a 20-minute call ahead of time. Even though we called ahead 20-minutes, we still had to wait an hour. I promise, it was worth it and the time goes by pretty quick.
