| Super Brilliant | Faculty are engaging and most faculty are not just well-educated but are also well-respected masters of their fields of expertise and most have valuable work experience in the field they teach. The campus is downtown in a great city with lots of things to do and fun events always going on. | Surrounding City: A+, Social Life: C |  | | |

| Quite Bright | I should have taken the hint that this place was worse than hell when i visited a year before. The campus tour consisted of walking by all the buildings (none were unlocked so we couldnt see ANY of the facilities). I was excited when i got here the week before. I figured there would be many week-before-school parties. WRONG. Not only were there absolutely no parties, nobody even wanted to party because they were too scared they would get caught. Everyone I have met is content with sitting in their room all day, playing video games, and occasionally going to a hookah bar. I met some guys that owned off campus apartments and i figured they threw parties all the time. WRONG. They throw 'dry parties' as one of the guys put it. Dont get me wrong i care immensely about my education, but having a social life is also important to me. Since its a commuter school, half the enrollment is actually middle-aged people. If your looking for a dorm experience, keep looking. Theres one dorm building, its old, stinky, hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and the RAs give you no freedom. You would think since its a commuter campus that there would be tons of parking. WRONG. I would rather stick a needle in my eye than try to find parking here. And if dont have the proper sticker or park somewhere undesignated, you can look forward to an expensive parking ticket. The ONLY positive about IUPUI is that there are gorgeous girls everywhere, but good luck finding them. They all go home every weekend because the campus sucks so bad. I have some acquaintances here but calling them friends would be a far stretch. They are people i talk to on occasion in my classes, or people i live close to. I am transferring out of here at the end of the semester and would not wish this "university" on my worst enemy. | |  | | |

I have spent one semester here, and one semester is more than enough. This is the biggest joke of a college institution I have ever been to. While my professors have been fairly nice, most either lack good teaching skills, or just simply don't teach nearly enough.
The last four tests I have taken (which are between three classes) have all had classes averages of 62% or lower, and for some reason, the professors are content with that. Some of them have great teaching skills, but they don't teach nearly enough. The gap between what they teach/what the books teach and the tests/homeworks is far too great. It's kind of like being taught how to doggy paddle and then being thrown in middle of a lake. I study to a point where I barely have any free time and don't even have the time for a job, but I still make lousy grades because the tests often feature problems that were never even discussed.
The campus is has far too few resources as well. Computer labs are few and far between, so you're lucky to find one that isn't being used, especially because a third of them are usually out of order anyway. And if you can live on campus, do it, because parking and traffic is a nightmare.
Then there are the tons of smaller things that I could say, but would take way too much time and space. Overall, I transferred to IUPUI to try and save money, but I think I would have rather been in debt for the rest of my life. You get what you pay for, I guess. I can't wait for this semester to be over so I can transfer again to a real institution. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time or money here. There are many other schools in the state that I can only imagine are far better than IUPUI. | Friendliness: A, Scholastic Success: F |  | | |
