<p>Is Indiana University Of Pennsylvania a suitcase school? </p>

<p>I'm having second thoughts on transferring there after a year of CC</p>

<p>My main reason on transferring is simply to get a social life, and it is a decent state school</p>

<p>any opinions?</p>

2

<p>Yes, it is.</p>

<p>So is the social scene their lame? Are there still a lot of kids that stay on the actual campus?</p>

<p>What schools should I look at if I want a good social scene, decent coursework, and not be spending $20k per year to stay there? (I don’t really qualify for any financial aid)</p>

4

<p>Go to Temple.</p>

5

<p>why not do a second year and go to penn state or pitt?</p>

<p>Well PSU is pretty expensive and I don’t qualify for that much aid. Isn’t the cost of attendence at PSU around 25k? I mean IUP is around 14-15k which is significantly cheaper, and I’d get to stay their for about 3 years, instead of going to PSU for one year, returning then only having one year left you know? I dunno…</p>

<p>I’m from the IUP area and the school is not bad. From the students I talked to, many said they enjoy it and find there is a good social scene. Another school in the area that is similar to IUP is Slippery Rock. Check them out and see what you think!</p>
