Major: Nursing (This Major's Salary over time)
I'm a sophomore at IUP at the moment. I came here because I heard the nursing program was good, and the school is affordable and a good size. The nursing program seems a bit slow and easier than I thought; I expected to have clinical in the hospital by now, but we're still in the nursing home. Looking back though, I really have learned a lot. I feel that my education has been wonderful overall. My classes aren't hard except the sciences. It makes me sad to see so many students party their lives away, and am embarrassed sometimes to see the stupid and lazy people that IUP accepted. Lots of the Greek guys are total jerks who only want to get laid. Lots of overly-tan, boob-showing girls, too. If I could choose again, I probably wouldn't have chosen IUP; I would have worked harder in high school and went to a more competitive school. The campus is beautiful and I am not dissatisfied with my education here. Most people party in their free time, but the movie theater (though small) is convenient and The Meadows is delicious! Coming from a larger town, there seems to be no shopping for miles and miles- if you need retail therapy do not choose a small town school! Making friends is key- anything is fun when you have friends to do it with. Hoping to go to grad school where people are more mature and clean up after themselves. The new dorms are terrible- paper thin walls and they are already falling apart, and are way too expensive. Food is expensive- never buy anything at Folger- $5 for a box of cereal. I feel like IUP has a bad rep but the education is decent, so don't let that get you down. Just enjoy it!
