Hi guys,
I'm a junior and I'm registering for classes next semester tomorrow.
My advisor told me to do my non-lab and lab pairing requirement. I wanted to take the space GEOS course but that wasn't available, and so he suggested human biology: how the body works.
I am really nervous to, i don't do well with information like types of cells and stuff. I suck, it's a lot of information, and it's overwhelming.
I plan on taking both with David Janetski if i do do it next semester.

Anyone have any experience with this course? What was it like? was it hard?

Should i just wait and put it off till the space one is available?

Hi all! I’m going to be apart of the incoming inaugural class of the new medical school! If anyone else here has been accepted and is committing, I’d love to make a group chat! 🫶🏼

I had that unicorn flavour gelato awhile ago I genuinely think it was the best thing ever. I have never had anything better it filled me with joy. it was so good I don't think the dining hall can do any better than unicorn gelato

First semester senior transfer. The library hours are horrendous. Is there anywhere to silently study when it’s closed??? I saw there was one library nearby but its hours are equally as bad. Why is everything closed on Sunday? Do people study at this school ?

I know this question gets asked a lot, but I would love some personal experiences here. Both of my friends who said they were gonna go to IUP with me changed their minds, and so now I would be going there all alone next year. It's a bit scary to think about, so I was wondering if any current/former students could tell me how easy it is to make friends and find a group? Also, should I room with someone - or get a single dorm room for myself?

My daughter is a high school senior and is narrowing down schools. She wants to be a criminology major, and of course academics are important. But she’s extremely social and is looking for a school with a vibrant social life on campus. Football games, pep rallies, parties, all of it. On one hand I see that IUP was rated a top party school, on the other hand, I see people in this sub say that the overall environment is anti-social? What’s it really like?

Also what is the housing situation like? Is it tough to get housing all four years? A few other schools we are looking at can’t guarantee housing after freshman year which is a concern for me.

Any other advice on campus life as we think through whether IUP could be a fit?

My daughter is a senior and plans to major in Criminal Justice. She is strong academically and her advisor recommended she applies to IUP and investigate the honors program. I know that IUP has a strong criminal justice program but I’ve seen less about the honors college. Could anyone share insight or perspective so we can see if it’s worth pursuing? What are the students in the program like? What about the professors and curriculum? Scholarship opportunities? Is there separate housing? Any input would be appreciated.

Probably stupid question, but I'd rather ask first than set off the alarm 🫩. I wasn't sure how sensitive the fire alarms were, especially in Putt. Ik some do smoke in rooms, but my luck the alarm would go off. I was thinking not burning a whole stick, assuming the whole stick would be too much smoke collected in the room, and again, I assume that would set the alarm off.

We talk over text but don’t share what we look like or what our name is. Whoever figures out who the other person is and finds them on campus wins!

Dm me if you want to play!

Hi everyone,

I’m an international medical graduate currently in Indianapolis. I recently completed an internal medicine observership at Indiana University and have completed the required onboarding, including HIPAA and institutional compliance requirements.

I’m currently looking for a Pediatrics observership, preferably at Indiana University, but I’m open to any hospital, clinic, or institution in the Indianapolis area.

If you know of any opportunities or could connect me with the right person, I would truly appreciate your guidance. Thank you so much for your time and support!

if i have overnight guests over the weekend where can i tell them to park? is there anywhere thats free or unregulated on weekends?

I move into campus this Saturday and was wondering as an upcoming freshman, what should I expect for welcome week?

Hello everyone! im going into my junior year but technically freshmen for my new major (SHE), and was wondering if anyone wanted to chat before school starts! Looking to just hangout with anyone too

My question is as the title says. I am curious for how many students apply for the biology master's at IUP and how hard the admission process is. Is it tough is it easy? do the accept anyone? Do past students get an ability to get in easier or is it the same process as undergraduate degrees. As a prospective student wanting to know the process for graduate programs.

hiiii! I’m planning on applying to iup nursing program but sadly I have a 3.23 uw gpa and 3.4 weighted gpa. the requirement to even be considered is to have a 3.25 gpa. do you think they may make an exception and take my weighted gpa isnetad? please help

Does anyone have any feedback about IUP’s Pre-Vet program? IUP is my main school im looking into atm, but ive got time. im only going into my junior year of high school. i just am curious how their vet program is. Also are there any good churches nearby?

I'm going into senior year of high school and am considering going to iup but I worry that if I go to iup I will not be able to get any internships or jobs after graduation because it is a smaller school I plan to dual major cybersecurity data science if anyone in these programs could give some insight that would be much appreciated

I am a 2x alumni of IUP -- BA 2014 and MA 2017. You'd think since I spent so much time on campus I'd know my way around. A lot has changed since I graduated though. I believe the Admissions Office is in Sutton Hall -- if that's the case, is it faster to walk in through the side side entrance (where I recall the Registrar's Office was) or the front entrance? Thanking anyone in advance for any type of response whatsoever ;-) Honored to be asked and excited for my friend.

Hey, my younger sister is planning on going to Indiana University of Pennsylvania and I just wanted to hear from people who actually go there (or went there).
She’s 17 and planning to do pre-dental, so I’m trying to get a realistic idea of what her experience might be like.
What does a normal day look like for you? Like classes, workload, campus vibe, social life, etc.
Also:
What are the biggest pros and cons of going there?
How are the science classes (bio, chem, etc)?
Are there good resources or support for pre-dental students?
Is it easy to stay focused academically with the social scene?
Do you feel like it’s a good environment for someone younger?
Just trying to figure out if it’s actually a good fit for her, so I’d really appreciate honest opinions (good or bad). Thanks! 🙏

So I’m looking at the housing option right now and they say “ЗP shared semi temporary” what does that mean? And what happens if there are no more dorms even though I am a freshman? Also if “ЗP shared semi temporary” my only option does that mean I can’t pick my roommate anymore?

I'm a current student at IUP about to complete my bachelor's of biology (BA not BS) at the end of spring 2026 semester. The main point I am conflicted on is should I come back here to try to get my master's in biology, or should I see if I could get into the medical school that is going to be opening up at IUP.
