There are a lot of freshman students that perceive IPFW as a community college; which it isn't. This creates some naive students in inept departments that drain the moral of the entire school body. However, if you get into a good department, you will find the faculty helpful and approachable. This school has the same standards as Purdue and Indiana University. In fact, the CS department scored better than their Purdue counterpart in standards testing. The Social Life is not great for a university this size. However, they have improved their club offerings over the last 5 years. Also, Fort Wayne has a community of over 200,000 so there are other off-campus options. I would like to see more interaction with the community, local employers, and higher entrance standards developed. Overall, it was a conveniently located university with standards and faculty to get a real education... providing you are in the right department.

Granted, there are many students that are not college material who go to IPFW as freshmen. Most of these students never reach the 200-level. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors feature many people who are transfers from IU or Purdue. As someone who attended both IU and IPFW, I would say that the education found at IPFW (especially at the 200+ levels) is comparable to the big-state universities, minus the social life.

Felt like I was at Ivy Tech or a charter school! I Paid Fow What? (IPFW). This place is full of walking zombies with no purpose! It's more like a high school for adults and military veterans. This place has no hart and definatly no soul! Students complain and say they will leave IPFW, but come back year after year after year! Only 4% graduate in the time they thought they would!
