Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus Top Questions

The cultural differences between international students and American students. Both groups seem unwilling to accept the other into their own groups and to mix at their own will. I sympathize the international students because I feel as if their experience in America is being cut short because of this issue.

Meals on campus are very expensive as with purchasing books that most professors require you to have but then never use. You end up losing out on so much extra money.

I'm applying to get into the graduate school in the fall of 2009. They only take 22 students, so the competition is high right now. I'm studying hard to do my best and stand out amoung the other students.

The unwillingness to change either through student activities or the professors way of teaching.

the most frusterating thing about iup is the advisors. i think its frustrating because many times when you go in for a scheduled meeting to talk with them, they just ask what you want to do and then pretty much just say yeah do that. they do not actually give their imput or seem to help. since there is a lot of kids, they do not know any of their kids on a personal level. also the weather is really frustrating because its always cold and raining or snowing which makes it hard to want to go to class.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the weather! which is something I have no control over!

I would say that the most frustrating thing about my school is the fact that they don't offer as much financial aid as they say they do. At this point, they are currently building many new areas of housing, and making them more expensive when students can hardly afford the cheaper crummy buildings in the first place.

The most frustrating thing at my school is scheduling. Each student sits down with their advisor and goes over the schedule that we both feel is appropriate. But it's in a way pointless because half the time you get on to register for next semesters classes all the ones your expecting are taken, leaving you with either taking classes that are unecessary or not having enough credits to be considered full-time. I am a sophmore and have only taken 3 classes necessary for my major. It's annoying.
