Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis Top Questions

I wouldn’t recommend students who are seeking active campus life and activities. Many piers of mine do not live on campus but travel to classes. If a student is looking for a strong college presence in the community and campus, this will not be the best choice.

The only kind of person who shouldn't attend here is someone not willing to work hard. It's a challenge, just enough so to keep things interesting. If you aren't willing to rise up, then you probably won't get along here.

Students who are looking for the total, on campus feel of going to college should not attend this school. It is a commuter campus that does not include alot of housing.

If you are not interested in going into the medical feild, I would not recommend this school as a top pick.

A person shouldn't attend this school if they would like a small college feel. This college is big and has an urban feel.

I feel that IUPUI is a wonderful place to come for anyone, especially if you are unsure of what you would like to major in. Our campus is in downtown Indianapolis, which makes our campus more of a commuter campus. It also means that we don't have a football team either, so I would say that college football fans who have always dreamed of rooting for their own school might not consider IUPUI.

I believe that anyone can attend this school.

This school is aimed for those pursuing professions in the fields of science and engineering. This school offers a very promising program in Motorsports engineering, and all other engineering programs are also very good. This school would also be very good for someone who wants to pursue a medical field career, being that a med school, optometry school, and dentistry school are all on campus.

There is not a particular kind of person that shouldn't attend Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis. However, potential students showing poor performance in high school may not be accepted without prior higher education experience. In order to serve these potential students, IUPUI has formed strong relationships with Indianapolis-based community colleges such that several courses taken at these colleges can easily be directly transferred onto an IUPUI transcript.

I honestly think all schools should look at IUPUI's approach and try to incorporate their techniques. Students who attend traditional campuses do have the social life, represented in greek life, clubs and organizations, that IUPUI lacks. There is little support for sports teams and bands. However, the trade-off is that students come from a variety of backgrounds. There are more non-traditional students and most students work full-time jobs or take care of families while attending school. IUPUI is not a party school, but it is very political in its practical applied focus.
