I'm currently a senior graduating in May from IUP. I transferred here last semester and must say I have really enjoyed my time at this school. The professors are helpful and allow you to develop your own ideas about certain material. Along with this, you are a person rather than a number. I have a personal relationship with all my professors, and in the 2,3, and 400 level courses the class sizes are fairly small. The education I have recieved has allowed for me to be successful in anything that I do. The school is big enough that you can meet new people every weekend, yet small enough to maintain close relationships with those that you've already met. The only problems I have with IUP are that the partying gets old. This occurs pretty much anywhere, so I wouldn't consider it a huge deal. Another problem is the amount of class sections offered. This semester they have limited the amount of each class offered to save money. This makes it difficult when you're scheduling, because the times can be far apart that you're in class all day. This may be eliminated in a few years if the economy turns around. Overall, anyone looking for a good school that allows for lasting friendships and a solid education should chose IUP. I'm going to miss it once I'm gone.
