Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is that it's two hours from the next big city so whatever type of clothes we need has to be bought online or with you when you come back from break.

The university is not very career focused. The career center is not well utilized or very active. It would be helpful if the university stressed internships and bridged the gap between school and career placement.

I would consider the worst part about IUP is how hard it is to get a job while living on-campus. With these being a college town, finding off-campus jobs are extremely hard due to not being able to stay in the dorms over long breaks. Not to mention, once all the on-campus jobs fill up, there is an even hard possibility of getting a job through the school.

$! Unfortunately for me and the rest of middle class citizens of the United States, college isn't financially accessible as it should be! I would describe myself as a Dean's List student, a college athlete, and a volunteer to the community of Indiana, yet I still am finding it extremely difficult to afford the cost of attending IUP. I would like to believe that IUP values students like myself enough to help retain them at their school. I really do not have a choice to continue there if they don't.

There is absolutely nothing that i can say is wrong with this school.

Expensive housing

My financial situation is a joke yet I make too much money for financial aid?! Many students left after the first year to go home to a community college.

- The library is one of the worst in the country. It has rows upon rows of empty shelves, and very few books on specific topics. For example, the art section is only two rows long.

it gets every cold here.

I believe that the worst thing is school are students who are very loud and inconsiderate who do not respect other students who are trying to study in a quiet environment or within the dorms.
