Review of Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus
from York, PA
Describe your college in three sentences.
I have completed my freshman year at IUP and I absolutely love my college! The campus is very open and easily walkable with lots of trees and quads in the living areas. I love the feel of being on my own while still living in a semi-structured environment.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come see the campus, do a walking tour with a campus guide, and consider applying over the summer decision day visits offered by the University. That way, you could alleviate the stress of the unknown of the college application process, and enjoy your senior year at high school knowing that you've already been accepted into a great college!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academic rigor is top-notch. I learned a great deal during my freshman year, and I expect to continue to broaden and deepen my knowledge base in the coming years.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love living in the newer residence suites that are part of the dorm offerings. I live in 4-person shared quad, and it feels like living in a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment. I have become very close with my roommates and will live with them again during my sophomore year.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are so many types of eateries on campus, and they are building even more. I love the Quiznos and Folgers Dining facilities. The food selection is varied.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I enjoy working out in the student gym at the Hub. The facilities are expansive and clean.
I have also enjoyed attending football games, basketball games, and concerts on campus.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I am getting a top notch education for a fair price, vs. attending an out of state university and paying triple the costs.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
IUP Patties is a St. Patty's Day tradition on campus.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
All students, especially students who are looking for a good value for their educational dollar.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Baseball club, lifting club, sports, etc.
