Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus Top Questions

Don't get too involved in college because your courses will get harder, and you need to focus on your classwork.

College requires a lot more time management skills. You must work hard to excel and keep up with your studies. It is also important to actively involve yourself in campus acitivities as it can be important for scholarships and opportunities to build your resume. It's important to find a job on campus to help pay for expenses or find an off campus job because college can be a huge financial burden as you accumulate loans. Overall, college can be a great experience when you make the most out of it!

If I could go back into time to my senior year in high school and talk to myself; I would tell myself to rethink my major and think about what interests me the most. I would also want to tell myself to rethink about my college classes (dual enrollment) I took during high school. I would want myself to make sure I decided on the right school for my major and not on something that just financial suited me.

If I could go back in time I would advise myself to attend a small university, such as Seton Hill. I was accepted to Seton Hill, but I passed up the opportunity. I would tell myself that there is not a lot of help or study sessions offered at IUP and that I should look at schools more willing to help and work closer with the students.

I would tell myself to study as hard as I could, and make school my first priority. Freshman year of college should be spent making a good scholisitc reputation for youself, rather than a social reputation. But don't take life too seriously, there is always time for play, but only after work.

Hey little guy! Here's my advice: Big, seemingly faceless institutions are really made of people, and it is the people who matter. So make as many personal relationships as you can, because that is how you will succeed. Personal relationships help you learn not just academics, but about life. The connections you build can get you in touch with opportunities you never even knew were out there. Not everything is on the Internet, and not everything is in the University catalog. Professors are smart, nice people. And the more smart, nice friends you have, the smarter you'll be and the more help you'll find when you need it. Universities are made of people, and they're worth getting to know.

Look at more colleges and make your own decision don't worry about pleasing anyone but yourself. You have the rest of your life to listen to other people this is one decision you can make on your own so do it. Live life have fun and do whatever you want to do because you can do anything you want to do!

Your going to be fine. The meal plan is a huge scam so don't do it. IUP may not be the most prestigious school out there but do well and keep your eyes on the prize, Law School. College life is going to be the best time you've ever had so stop worrying about making the transition.

I would advise myself to start applying to scholarships and I found out very quickly that college is expensive and having some money to pay for it would have been nice. Since my father lost his job it was difficult to choose a university to go to that would not be as expensive. I really wish I would have looked at other universities and considered my options. I really like IUP but my financial status is driving me insane.

Make sure you stay focused and always try your hardest. If you don't understand something go to your professors offfice hours because that's what their paid to do, help you. Also, get invoved in activities its a great way to meet people and make friends that will last a lifetime.
