Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus Top Questions

not for all the students

somewhat -drinking has been banned by the university.

yes

They could be. There are alot of local students that go here, but there are also a lot of people that come from other places, including internationally. The partying, it's everywhere. So if you are looking for it, you will find it on any college campus.

To some people, the stereotype that we are the #1 party school might hold true, but every school is a #1 party school because you can find parties anywhere if you're actually looking for them. IUP isn't any worse than the rest out there. I don't think the sterotype for the students is true; we have a lot of bright kids here, and hey, every school has its exceptions.

For the most part, yes! I enjoy IUP because it did have so many options. Sometimes I had to search them out but they were there. There are so many people there for the same experience which also helped in finding things I enjoyed.

The drinking aspect, I feel is true. It is half the reason I commute. As for it being a bad school because it is cheap, that is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. IUP has some of the best professors and learning experience you can encounter

NO!!!!!!! Not all of us choose to spend our time at IUP drinking... there are some of us who are more concerned about our education!

Just like any college, IUP is whatever you, as the student, make of it. If you want to party you will find one, but if what you like to do for fun does not include partying, you will find your niche here. Honors College students are NOT snobs! This stereotype really bothers me because I made some great friends in the Honors College. Everyone has the potential to make a great friend. Don't judge people too quickly.

Yes, for most.
