Considering my freshman-year friends (almost) all dumped me when I dumped my ex, I would have been SOL in that situation.

And at IU, if you plan to join a sorority, you know you will live in the house for 3 years, and you don't think twice about it. There is no thought about moving out as seniors or anything. At other Big Ten schools, for example, when you join a house, you usually only have a one-year live in requirement, and off-campus housing is a lot closer or even intermingled. Most juniors and seniors in sororities at other schools like living in a house for a year, but then are excited to live on their own for a year or two. At some schools, sophomores even commonly live in the dorms--we got priority over Freshman if we wanted to live in the dorms again and I know my brother did at his school too. It's hard b/c I think IU is the last Big Ten school to rush, and when your friends have a whole semester of fun under their belts, it just adds to the pressure.
