Party friendly, fun, intelligent, like every other college kid
Allie
We usually party. Which is true, however we have a lot more to offer than just a great party scene. The faculty and staff here at IUP really do an excellent job of providing us with a good education.
The "Hometown Hero's" are the kids who grew up in Indiana, and are stereotyped as the ones who will never get out... Not true. Maybe we just see what's in front of us and want to take advantage of the opportunity? As well as a ton of good parties and fun.

The stereotype of the typical mainstream IUP student is rural pennsylvania who knows how to drink and like to party. IUP has a reputation for being a big party school with people who go out every night of the week. The stereotype of the IUP Honors College is a bit different. The Honors College is known for housing quirky students who often do not party, stay in the dorm, and like art, theatre and sarcastic humor.

One stereotype is that IUP is a big party school where everyone drinks all the time.
Robin
That IUP is a complete and total party school, but in reality every school is a party school no matter where you go. It's all about who you want to be around and who you want to be friends with. The IUP student might not be the "brightest in the bunch" but they are smart. They might slack off but all school will have those slackers.

Shane
They aren't very smart and they all like to party a lot.
