A small site that still works if you are a Hoosier.

Hoosier Singles is a dating site that helps to bring the single students, faculty, alumni and friends of Indiana University together. The site looks good, decked out in Hoosier colors, and is very easy to navigate, but it is a site that won't be very useful to most people. About 95% of the 500 or so members of this site live in the general area of the university. So for those that live in that area, the site is good, but for most of the population that doesn't you won't be finding many – if any – members in your area.

If you feel the site could be for you then you will find signing up for the free membership is fast and easy. The profiles in this site can be very detailed, but they let you skip most of that detail up front and fill it in later if you want. That is something I really appreciate. I hate being forced to fill out a long profile, only to find I don't like the site. You can also search the members of this site two different ways. The basic search allows you to look for people based on age range and their distance to you. The advanced search, called Super Match, uses the details from your profile to match you with different people. You can fill out your profile, do searches and look at other people's profiles for free, but if you want to contact someone directly you will have to get a paid membership.

Where the site really falls short is on the extra features. Many dating sites now offer their users chat rooms, instant messaging, user forums and other ways to connect with people. This site doesn't have any of those features which is too bad.

In the end, I scored this site on the low end for a couple of reasons. First, it is a small site and it lacks many of the bonus features a lot of other sites offer. Secondly, the site is very localized in one area so if you live outside that area then the site really won't work for you. All that said, if you do live around the university or you are affiliated with it, then this site may work really well for you because you are the target audience. If that is the case, forget the rating, grab a free membership and check out. There is a decent collection of members centralized in your area.
