Review of Indiana University-Indianapolis

from Indianapolis, IN

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

IUPUI is an incredible institution to start a new chapter of your life and education. I've always been told that you usually learn something new everyday, but at IUPUI I learn gobs of new information everyday! With over 250 degrees from 21 schools and 10,000 classes to choose, from both Purdue and Indiana University, how could you not learn a lot? The learning opportunities seem endless!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I enjoy attending IUPUI! Indianapolis offers so many opportunities for everyone. There is something about the campus that makes me feel at home. The diversity of students and professors is a total culture shock, especially if you come from a small town like me! But it is so fun to meet new people from different ethnic cultures with varied goals in life. At IUPUI there are many ways to meet new people. For example, you could join one or more of the 120 student organizations!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

IUPUI is perfect if you aren't wanting to be buried in loans for the rest of your life. I'm getting my degree from the IU School of Physical Education & Tourism Management. If I would have gone to IU Bloomington I would have had to come up with at least $13,000 more than the cost of attending IUPUI. I was also able to cut down my tuition cost through IUPUI scholarships. IUPUI administers over $8 million in institutional financial aid and scholarships every year! Included in IUPUI's tuition is the use of academic support like the Math Assistance Center, Bepko Learning Center, Speaker's Lab, Writing Center, and many more.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Check out the admission requirements, future students link on the IUPUI website, quick facts, and information about Indy and the community to help you make your decision in choosing the right college.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

IUPUI is one of the top commuter schools in Indiana. You can still live at home, have a job, and attend school with ease. IUPUI also offers a lot of night classes and online classes. I have taken both types of classes and was extremely pleased with the classes compared to my other morning classes.
