no

No. These are relevant only to a percentage of the population and this does not take into account the lives of students who are interested in doing other activities like community service, etc.

No, except for the peeing in public part. But seriously, IUP is seen as a party school, and there are a lot of parties that take place, but that does not mean that the students just come here to party. If adolescents simply want to spend their time partying, they will find a way whether they are in a college atmosphere or not. There is nothing wrong with going out on the weekends, as long as you are safe and know where your priorities are. Also, students at all colleges party. They find a way even if the campus is dry. It doesn't matter if it's IUP, Duquense or Ohio State, all of these colleges contain students who party. However, students just get caught more often with underage drinking at IUP because of the small town area. The cops don't have many other violations to worry about with a small town setting as they do with a more urban setting such as Pittsburgh.

I'm sure they can be accurately applied to some students, but the same is true of students at universities all over the country. And I believe the education I am getting in IUP?s journalism department is excellent.
