I graduated many years ago but feel compelled to write something after reading other comments. Look kids, if you go to college to drink and screw, you'll find plenty of drinking and screwing at IUP. If you want a good education, that, too, is readily available to you if you avail yourself of the opportunity. The campus is beautiful. The library is even nicer now than it was back in the 80s and there are classes in everything. It's a big school with a lot of city kids from Philly and PGH and like any big school, women, especially, should not walk alone at night. I didn't very often. I hope there are more activities than there used to be for students whose lives don't revolve around getting drunk. The Greeks were assholes. Too many of the men were abusive and treated women only as potential sexual partners, but again - that may be no different than any other big school of the time. The Profs, on too many occasions, didn't show up for class or/and had grad students teach them. Some of the core classes were HUGE. In my major - the Profs personally knew me and mentored me during and after college. When I had trouble understanding Geology II Lab work, the Prof spent hours of his own time trying to help me. The only reason I said that I would attend a different university if I had it to do over again is because knowing what I do now, I would have been a high achieving high school student and would have tried to get into a school like Carnegie Mellon or Penn. You see, I did too much drinking and screwing in my time. Learn from me. All in all, I had a blast at IUP and loved the place, despite my complaints. I received a good education there for the money but should have done better had I applied myself at the level of my ability. What worries me most about other reviewers is that so few of you can spell and write decently. I don't know if that's a reflection of the school or your own fault. Potential students should visit the campus.
