Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus Top Questions

This campus is huge and we are in the mountains, which means we get a lot of cold weather and snow. The walk to classes or the cafe in the winter time is treacherous. If you are not a motivated student, the weather can cause you to want to stay in bed instead of going to class. Though this is nothing the school can fix, it is still something to consider when deciding on coming to this school. I would still recommend this school to anybody, seeing as though this is the only downfall that I can think of.

I hate the caffeteria hours and availibility of food variety in the dinning hall.

The most frustrating thing about Indian University of Pennsylvania is the randomness of the weather. It could be sunny one minute and then the next you are in the middle of a snowstorm.

What I find most frustrating about IUP is the aspect that it known as a "party" school. In just a few weeks of being a student here, I have seen many police arrests for public drunkeness and underage drinking. There is quite an abundance of underage drinking in the dorms as well. One more annoyance that comes along with drinking is loud music and noisy people. The noise makes it difficult to concentrate, study and sleep. Weekend noise would be one thing, but this is a constant issue. I suppose one can get used to anything.

transfering into the school was hard and it was hard to get anything done.

The most fustrating thing about my school is the cost. I am a working mother of two children applying for a second Master's Degree in Education. This degree will cost my family approxiatly 14,000 dollars. There are minimal sholarships or grants available for teachers continuing their education.

The most frustrating thing about this school is the weather. It is very rarely nice here, it's mostly windy, rainy, or snowy. There are so many wind tunnels from the buildings on campus that you always have to dress warm.

The most frustrating thing is that there are alot of slackers here that are able to do just about nothing and still pass, graduate and get a job but people like myself that work very hard for their grades get the shaft . It is also very frustrating not being able to get into the classes that I need to graduate because they are full, hire more teachers thats why I'm here. It's also hard to get scholarships because I am not from Philadelpia, they seem to be the only people that get good support from this place.

I would have to say the financial aid and cost of living. I, myself, am struggling to live because the entire campus is now suite style livnig and it's too expensive and my financial aid does not cover me. Therefore, I am not able to receive financial aid for books, like i havent been for the last 2 semesters.

scheduling classes so i can graduate on time. i'm taking an extra year to complete a second major and timing out my classes has been difficult so that i can graduate in time.
