We asked our Twitter followers about their favorite memories around campus. Here’s what they told us.

Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall and Memorial Stadium

Bringing my dad to tour Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall & Memorial Stadium. @KPang24 gave a great tour. Also, showing my dad a brick I had engraved with our names & go Hoosiers outside of Memorial Stadium. Both father day gifts & memories I won’t forget.

Indiana Memorial Union

IMU and the road behind it. It’s like I never left when I walk it.

The chemistry love tree

RIP my favorite place the chemistry love tree. Got engaged there after college, but visited it many many times while I was in school. My other favorite memory is watching Barack Obama’s inauguration at the IMU with hundreds of strangers. There was a magic that day on campus!

Wells Library

Early 1990’s all nighters in the Herman Wells Library computer labs transcribing research papers from notes the night before they’re due.

Assembly Hall

Anytime I went to Assembly Hall when Coach Knight was on the sideline. We damn near won every home game back then. #TheGeneral #TheGoat

The Showalter Fountain

Showalter fountain, the night IU won the NCAA in 1987. Long live “The Shot”!

A Little 500 concert

Little 5 concert in the park. Pretty sure @rhettmiller used that exact experience to write “Bloomington.” But when I asked him he refused to say! I think he didn’t want to offend any lesser Bloomington’s.

Clarification: A previous version of this map incorrectly labeled the Wright Education Building, which was constructed in 1992. The IDS regrets this error.
