Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus Top Questions

I would choose the one that made you feel the most comfortable at home. Thats what I did I came from a fairly small town so I did not choose a huge school I chose the one that was right for me, had my major, and had good remarks. I love IUP and wouldn't trade it for any university.

When searching for a college, really SEARCH. Do not settle for the first school that accepts you, even if you think it is what you really want. Visit even that one college that you said you absolutely will not go to, that school may be the one that you'll experience the best times of you life. And don't worry about what schools your high school friends are going to, or how far away it is from the one you really like. After the 4, 5, or 6 years you spend there, they will always be waiting for you when you come home. Most importantly, follow your dreams, and become whatever it is you want to become "when you grow up".

Find the right fit. The biggest mistake I made when searching for a college was to only visit three. Don't make that mistake. Instead, be willing to travel, take days off of High School, and even interview at schools that you might think are too prestigious for you. There is no institution of learning that can rightfully claim to be out of consideration for you; knowledge belongs to you as much as the deans and professors at that or any other university. Be fearless when looking for a University. When you choose the place you will spend the next four years of your life, make sure that you will enjoy all four years. you must not only be comfortable with the academics, but also the atmosphere, clubs, activities, and even the weather. If you don't like rain, don't apply to school in Seattle. If you don't like the heat, then don't look at schools in the south. Visiting several schools could be the best way to find all this information; stay overnight and see what the school is like after hours. Whatever you do, make sure you get to know your future alma mater.

i would choose soemthing that reminds you of where you grew up. it makes it less stressful and a lot easier to be away from home, especially your first year. also something cheap so that you are not in debt all of your life. also, IUP is a very diverse college and everyone is willing to accept everyone else. it is easy to make friends because everyone is so friendly also.

Do not come to IUP

Make sure to enjoy every second of your time in college. Do what is best for you, not for someone else. Remember you are there for an education, but don't keep your nose in your books all the time, go out and have fun once in a while. Get involved in good organizations, hopefully ones that will have an impact on the community.

Do not pick a shool based on someone else's choice or someone else's experiences. Find a school that fits your personality and interests. If you check out more than a few schools one of them will speak to you.

Finding the right college is the most important step in defining your future. it is essential that the college you choose meets all of your needs and exceeds your expectation. college is the stepping stone to building a bright future, the college you choose should be able to provide you with ample oppertunities for sucess, should be challenging and fun. your college years will be some of the best years of your life certainly some of the hardest. you should be challged and pushed to new extremes to the point where you contiplate quiting. then and only then will you find the strength that can and will get you through life. college is a hurdle, you can either fall over it or jump to new horizons.

When you visit the college, does it feel right? If yes, look deeper. After you take a tour of the facilities of specific major you're planning on persuing, is it a program that's gonna take you places?
