Major: Journalism (This Major's Salary over time)
My experience at IUPUI was a joke. The staff were rude, EXTREMELY disorganized, and highly unprofessional. The majority of my professors at IUPUI seemed bored and confused- many of them were recent college graduates, and others were foreigners whose accents were distracting and difficult to decipher.

It was as if nobody ever knew what was going on around there. When I needed guidance or direction, faculty members were ALWAYS quick to pass the buck, directing me to someone else who was lazy and terribly reluctant to assist me. At IUPUI, every move a student makes has to be approved by someone "higher up" and then, exhausted from his/her search just to find a particular office or official, a student will only be told to take a number and wait in line. My advice to freshman at IUPUI: get used to waiting in line! Get used to being told "NO." Get used to being discouraged and overlooked. Get used to frowns, scowls, and a VERY negative environment. Your professors will likely be jaded, disconnected, far from concerned, and unreasonably mean.

The classes I really wanted to take were always full, no matter how early I scheduled. A student's schedule is never fully tailored to his/her major, as IUPUI loves to enforce useless and VERY EXPENSIVE prerequisites.

The campus is beautiful, and I feel that IUPUI's maintenance & safety staff are of the highest quality.

When it comes to IUPUI's student body- one will fit in perfectly if he/she is cold, pretentious, spoiled, reserved, and just generally sour about life. One should CERTAINLY NOT expect to make friends right away. It is possible to spend 2 years at IUPUI and never meet a single likeable person- which is not a stretch from my own experience.

I would NOT recommend this university- not even to an enemy.
