IUP is not a bad school. It would be a lot better if some people didn't think that this school is a party central. I don't mind going to a few parties here and there, but the partying scene gets really old fast. Some of the people here are pretty dumb in class. The best thing about IUP is the faulty, especially in my department. The Political Science department in my opinion is the best in the school. They take no crap, are very approachable, and conduct stunning classes that I enjoy. They really know how to relate to students. The town around the school and the weather here stink. Theres not a lot to do around the town and the weather is not always the greatest. I had some hard times finding friends, because mostly students keep to themselves here. My advice is: if you came here to party, and party only you will fail miserably. I've seen that happen in my first couple of years here. Like any school, you gotta strike a balance. The courses here aren't bad, you just gotta commit to it. Overall, IUP is a great school but theres some dumb people in it.
