Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis?

Amy

The only person who not do well at IUPUI would be the one who would much rather party their way through school. IUPUI challenges the students, which would make it difficult for someone who is uninterested in getting a real education.

Rebecca

I think everybody is welcome at this college.

Paulos

People who drink too much, take drugs, and are there to only play around shouldn't attend my school.

Andrea

If a student wanted to live in a small town or not be right in the middle of a city, then IUPUI would not be a great school for them. There is not much nature in the area considering it is only a few miles from downtown Indianapolis.

Ruendy

I think a person who isn?t motivated at all or doesn?t want to learn anything shouldn?t attend this school because he would just be wasting his time and distracting the students who want to learn.

Jessica

A slacker. Someone who doesn't want to do the course work or something who doesn't want to get involved in non-academic activities. Because of its urban location, people who don't like to commute shouldn't attend IUPUI. Making friends isn't hard but its not going to consist of standing around a kegger.

Heather

people who want to get out of indiana after college or who were the top of their high school classes or who like small campuses or who want a traditional, college-town environment, or who want their lives to revolve around school

Michelle

A person who is looking for a very socially engaging and typical college experience. Though this university is shifting towards more on-campus housing for a more traditional college lifestyle, the school accomodates for students who work full-time and attend school full-time who are mostly commuters. The institution offers a great college environment; but because of its location in the city, it is incapable in competing with more traditional universities on the "college experience" level.

Kelly

If social activities are very important to you, this school may not be the place to be. This campus is largely filled with commuters who do not live on campus. Therefore, campus activities are limited and not well attended. There are many opportunities to build friendships, and sororities and fraternities do exist, but most students are simply there for academic reasons.

Tara

A non traditional student.
