Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus Top Questions

I would describe my classmates as tired.

Everyone here is welcoming and I am always meeting new people.

At Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I have some classmates who are very positive and outgoing who are also ready to learn. Some are really ambitious, and surrounds the majority of their college experience on their future career. For instance, one of my classmates wants to be in the communications media career. So the majority of his extracurricular activities revolve around tv and radio. I also have some classmates who seem to only be in college just because it was their only option after high school. With these classmates, I don't really see any excitement about college from them.

My classmates vary from class to class. There are a variety of people of different backgrounds and races in eac class and for the most part we all get along. In my computer science class there are many people that have a lot in common with me and I really enjoy the people I'm around. So far I have had no complications with other students at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

- There is a place for everyone at IUP, we have many different cultures here at IUP and they are all excepted. They also have many different clubs and organizations for minorities. - I do not think any person would feel out of place at this school unless they wanted a very small school. - Most students dress pretty casually to class - Jeans/ IUP t-shirt etc. the usual - Most students are from PA, NJ, MD, etc.

I can honestly say that there is no way to describe the "typical" IUP students. I don't believe such a label exists. IUP is very diverse in terms of race, culture, religion, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status. We are a very accepting population. There is a club for virtually every person. From Catholics to Atheists, Latinos to African Americans, Republicans to Democrats, there is a club for everyone. There is even a "Non Traditional Student Organization" for older students. We have a very proud LGBT community who sponsor an LGBT film festival every year. We have activists, Greeks, religious, sports enthusiasts, writers, talkers, adventures, and more. We have an entire dorm building dedicated to international students. There are no "cliques" at this school. Everyone tends to intermingle. There are so many places to meet people that it is hard to form exclusive groups. If you ask me, this is one of the best parts of IUP. There is no norm!

My classmates were outgoing, outspoken, fun, friendly, and in the majors many were very good friends because of the amount of time you spend with the people.
