Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus accurate?

Meghan

It's probably somewhat true, but I'm not sure how IUP measures up on it's partying compared to other schools. Homecoming is the BIG party weekend, but I'm sure there are schools where it seems like every weekend in like homecoming (Penn State, WVU). The good thing though is that the drinking scene is only there if you want it...nothing is forced on you.

Samantha

to a degree, yes. however, its also really known for its academics as well.

Rachel

IUP is a party school, but other schools probably are too. IUP is not for dumb people; some pretty smart people have graduated from there. While a lot of people at IUP are studying elementary or secondary education, other majors are popular as well.

Jesse

Most of us are very smart people, we just REALLY like to party. and IUP is an amazing school for a better price. so no, we are not stupid....but we do party alot.

krista

Yes.

Tate

Not particularly. Of course there will be drinking, but not everyone at IUP drinks. There are plenty of people that don't drink or party and still have just as much fun.

Robin

Some of them are. But like I said before, it all depends on who you want to be around, and you choose who you want to spend your time with.

Owen

Yes and no, it can be a party school, if that's what you make it out to be.

Shane

There are some very intelligent people attending IUP but almost everyone I know will party any night of the week.

Sarah

yes
