The student body was not what I was expecting, and that matters much more than you might think when attending college. From what I can tell from visiting other colleges, this place is nearly the opposite in this way. Most universities seem to have a large population of liberally minded, socially active, intelligent individuals. IUP is comprised of a large portion of people who would not fit in to a normal college setting. A lot of these people fit the "douchebag" stereotype of seeing themselves as the center of the universe, and think that he and his friends are the coolest f***ing people on the planet, and you're an idiot for not living like a horridly unsustainable American like he does. The population has a large cross-section that thinks they are "ghetto" and live that way, having no respect for the things and people around them.

From what my friends and I can tell, the normal people stick together in small numbers and feel put out by the majority of the people that are very hard to live next to.

My education has been about what I expected out of the university, and the faculty is outstanding. They are helpful and approachable, and MANY are incredibly knowledgeable on their respective subject, but there are of course some that only know what the teachers' edition tells them.

If you are a suburbanite looking to attend IUP, find a group of friends here and stick with them. They'll make your stay a bit easier to handle.

Be sure to read the gradings on this review, and read their associated meanings.
