Indiana University of Pennsylvania - Main Campus Reviews

"I’ve had a great experience at IUP. The school is in a lively town, there’s always something to do. The rural setting mixed with a big student body is a unique experience and part of what makes IUP so special. For the most part, the professors are high quality and the class sizes are a good size as well."

"Indiana university of Pennsylvania provided me with a very positive educational experience. The professors I came in contact with were supportive and helpful and truly valued my education. But I feel as though my social and personal growth was the most rewarding part of my experience at Indiana university of Pennsylvania, the community and the opportunities to become involved make it so you never feel alone."

"IUP was a pretty great undergraduate experience. Many of the professors in the psychology department, where I spent most of my time, were eager to teach and assist students on their way to earning their degree. All the staff I interacted with were very helpful and never too busy to offer assistance. The campus itself is beautiful with many clubs and activities to participate in throughout the semester. The library is really nice with many historical artifacts strewn throughout for the curious wanderer to find. I spent a large amount of time on campus studying and researching my honors project. There is a bus system that is almost always on time and which will take you throughout the campus and into town to the major shopping centers.Read Less"

"I genuinely enjoyed my matriculation through IUP. The professors were well educated but in my opinion, many of the lecture halls were overpopulated. However, the professors kept suitable office hours and seemed relatively helpful in assisting students through their classes. The school is not as diverse as I would have liked but students were given ample freedom to create and engage culturally. There was a lot of construction going on while I was in school but the end product was well worth it, with brand new suites and academic halls. On the other hand, the HUB could use a little updating. More specifically, the Nursing program (which is where I began my studies) was a top-notch program and produced some really great students/future nurses. I lost my passion for the field part way through but again, this program is for the best of the best and you have to be ready and willing to do the work. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed my matriculation through the Psychology program. I felt that the program was relatively compact, in terms of professors and coursework. It appeared that all of the professors had a common interest in making sure that you graduated from the program and not just "got through". I love that all of the classes for the Psych major were housed in one building, which added to the Psych community feel. Overall, I would say that IUP was a great institution with upstanding staff and faculty and ample resources for growth and development. Thinking back, it would have been nice to have more of a high profile entertainment scene (i.e., artists for homecoming and other events) but perhaps it was in IUP's budget. Anyhow, "cheers" to a wonderful undergrad experience!Read Less"
