its known as a party school

The party life. While IUP has some amazing parties, every college does too. You'll party hard no matter where you go, and I know because I was at IUP, then transfered to Temple University, but still favored IUP, so I came back after my freshman year, but IUP does have a different feel. The parties are more welcoming to whoever. We just care more about drinking as much as possible and getting trashed when we party rather than whats everyone elses business. But its not all about partying, thats just one of the main things people think of when they hear 'IUP'. There are a ton of people that I know that don't really drink at all and they love it here. IUP is just an awesome place...I could stay here forever if that was possible! ha
