Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis Top Questions

First, I wish I would've known that the school does not have a meal plan. Secondly, I wish I would have known how hard it was going to be to find an off campus apartment for someone with a low income. Other than that, the school has greatly met my needs, especially academically.

I wish I would have know how to manage time better, trying to balancae school and work is a tough challenge. Just to pay rent I have to work and among the crazyness of that go to an art school full time and everyone requires alot out of you because they really want you to excell at their class and make you become a better artist.

Wish there were more music classes.

The amount of work involved in such an endeavor. The amount of work required in high school pales in comparison to the amount of work necessary to succeed in college-level work.

How expensive college really was.

I wish I had known I was coming so I could have transferred sooner!

There are a lot of hidden fees at IUPUI, though I'm sure this is true of a lot of other universities. Certain classes have additional fees on top of credit hour fees that are not listed in course descriptions or mentioned at registration, which can create a nasty surprise when the bursar bill shows up.

This school is a major commuter school so it is a lot harder to get to know people here rather than if I was at a school living on campus in a dorm. Prices increase significantly when you get into a specialized program.

What my competition would REALLY be like.

An advisor told me that one of my classes transfered when I transfered to IUPUI. I just found out the other day that actually seven of those classes actually did transfer. Always get a second opinion
