The Indiana University of Pennsylvania has been wonderful, down to the Rainbow Sidewalk to the friendly folk that walk around campus. The Oak Grove is so beautiful and always buzzing with smiling faces. The professors are respectful and cater to my individual needs. There's nothing I would change! It feels like home.

As a college student involved in clubs and enjoying time with friends, my experience was incredibly enriching. I loved the variety of activities available, there was always something new to try or a new group to join. Clubs allowed me to explore my interests, gain leadership experience, and make lasting friendships. For example, being a part of the Student Accounting Association was an amazing opportunity and allowed me to work with employers. Socializing with friends through club events or spontaneous outings created countless memorable moments.
However, balancing academic responsibilities with social activities was sometimes challenging. I'd like to see more support for students in time management and mental health resources. Additionally, having more flexible club meeting times and more inclusive, diverse events would enhance the overall college experience.

IUP is a pretty nice place if you're used to small town life. The school is small enough that you can almost know everybody in your graduating class. It has a lovely campus with decent facilities for all majors but it does lack in some regards. First, the dining hall is honestly my biggest gripe with the school, it's pretty small in proportion to the population so it can sometimes be hard to find a seat if you find yourself having to go during the common hour. Food is not bad but it isn't great either. Campus life is pretty good as various organizations try to get students to interact with each other at different events throughout the year but they never seem to take off as the people there don't really want to do much. If you're a big partier who's pursuing Greek life, IUP is a very good choice, fraternities and sororities are probably the most active on campus.
