"Absolutely love this campus so beautiful lots and lots of exciting new things to look at and do always no matter what type of weather what type of day a week or time of day great place to go to college and learn great happy people always nice and helpful and amazing school campus is absolutely stunning"
"I'll admit that I just saw the pin and figured I would check this out but as I do my research to write the review, these aren't just pretty gates. The concept of a gateway to mark the entrance to the campus dates back to 1932 but they didn't actually get installed until 1987. And ever since, they are the most iconic spot on campus. IU grads know what I'm talking about. So I'll just stop here and tell you that if you're visiting or perhaps you're an alumni, get your selfie or portrait."
"Wow, what an incredible entrance to Indiana University! Beautiful with all of the flowers and the stately looking gates. Don't miss it!!"
"I love this place! Apart from the breathtakingly beautiful view of the historical architecture you also get a modern touch with all the cafes and eateries on the opposite road.. These are a famous spot to click your pictures and show the world that you're at IU!"
"An icon of Indiana University and Bloomington, Sample Gates are definitely a must-see when visiting IU. As the main entrance to the university, Sample Gates are an incredible photo opportunity. The foliage is always kept in excellent condition and always looks perfect. Overlooking Kirkwood Avenue in beautiful downtown Bloomington, the Sample Gates are the perfect connection that tie the university and the city together."
