I am finishing up my freshman year at IUP and have thus far been disappointed for the most part, as have numerous others, and am transferring out this fall. First and foremost- If you are looking for the "college experience", look elsewhere.. I was one of the more popular and outgoing kids in high school, and was friends with just about everybody in my class. It came as a huge suprise to see a "party school" consist of so many closed-off students. The majority of the students here are strangely antisocial and not open to meeting new people. The student body is not the most outgoing, and the dorms/suites consist of all closed doors with no social interaction among neighbors. Unlike other schools, the students keep to themselves and are strangely stand-offish. Very depressing atmosphere. This was the complete opposite at every other college that I visited, where students knew each other and were generally friendly. As far as the whole party school rep that students brag about- it is EXTREMELY overrated. Students pride themselves and believe they are "party animals", but even the top frat parties are pretty mediocre usually. Frat houses are small and run down and not mansions like seen at other schools. If you are guy, be prepared to be turned down to a lot of parties because frats don't let guys in unless you are a brother there or know the person at the door. The majority of students are from rural areas where parties basically don't exist, so students are convinced IUP is "party central" when they visit. It honestly is no different then any other college campuses of the size. If partying is a huge priority to you, join a larger school as you will probably be a bit disappointed when IUP isn't really "party central". As far as academics are concerned, most of my teachers were good. I had a few bad ones, but thats expected with any school. The teachers have been accessible, and were always open to communicating with me about things in my experience. I like the smaller class sizes, really works towards you.The walls are paper thin and you hear everything in the suites. Its often hard to sleep at night since you are always close to some sort of street and everybody puts obnoxiously loud mufflers on their cars. The weather sucks but thats expected in this area. The food is pretty good and there is a large variety to choose from. Expensive, but pretty well priced by college standards.No school spirit whatshowever, but perhaps that will change if the school goes D1.. |
