IUP = I Like to Party.

That IUP is only a party school and that their is nothing to do if you are under 21.

A lot of kids think this is "the party school" or in general a huge party school. This could stem from the fact that there is a wide range of fraternities and sororities on our campus. I think even in the fraternities and sororities there are stereotypes, such as they all sleep around.

Lindsay

IUP has been considered a huge party school in PA.

Maria

Some stereotypes are that we party all the time, we are always drunk, and that most of the time we have no idea what is going on. This could be farther from the truth. Most of the time the campus is quiet with studying and hanging out. Yeah, there are some parties on the weekends but it is not as crazy as it sounds.

Nicole

All we do is drink and party.

Abigail

A lot of people think that IUP is a party school as many people will tell you when you say that you are going to or are already attending the university. People think that the students only go there strictly to party and that you can find a party every night of the week. Another stereotype about IUP is that it has a higher crime rate than many of the other state schools.

Bridget

That they drink/party a lot

Tristan

That its a party school, where you'll go get fucked up every night and never go to class. That if your a girl you'll get raped, and a guy you'll get stabbed.

I've never lived in the area of IUP, so I'm unaware of stereotypes.
