Hey all! My name is Heather Litchford, and this is currently my first year at Indiana State University. Previously, I attended Indiana University-Bloomington. I transferred to Indiana State to complete my criminology degree. Although, this is only my first year living in Terre Haute, I have lived only a half an hour from here my entire life. Where I'm from, there is absolutely nothing to do, so my friends and I would travel to Terre Haute to do anything entertaining (this is the sad truth). In high school, there was no other college in Indiana I was willing to attend besides IU. Indiana State University was never known as that to me when I was applying to colleges, it was commonly referred to as "I Screwed Up."
After spending three years at IU, I realized that it was not all that it was said to be. Eventually, I chose to transfer to Indiana State because it has a great criminology program and because of the excellent professor to student ratio. Since coming here, I have realized that ISU has all of the potential to be an excellent college, but the location and lack of motivation are causing its demise. Lately, I have heard in a few of my courses about the way Terre Haute was back in its golden days, but if you were to come here now you would see nothing but a rundown, stinky town. So, throughout this semester I am looking forward to discovering the colorful past that has shaped Terre Haute into what it has become today, a lost treasure.
