What kind of person should not attend Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis?

Heather

IUPUI is not a school for those expecting a "typical" college experience. IUPUI is located in downtown Indianapolis and isn't isolated like many private colleges can be. My school is surrounded by the city and is immersed in it's culture. Many students commute, there is only one dorm, specifically for freshmen, meal plans are just now becoming slowly integrated into my school, and the greek community, though existent, have no houses on campus. Though IUPUI has many benefits and I believe is still a wonderful school, it's not for those expecting the college life portrayed in media.

Bobbi

Someone who is not fully commited to their education should not attend this school.

Daphne

Someone not interrested in actually learning and accomplishing something for themselves. Enough students are there to make a better life for themselves and it is frustrating to have to share a professor with someone who is just wasting his/her own time as well as the professor's.

Emily

someone that wants a campus atmosphere of students mainly under 25 years old

Bethany

Although IUPUI does have sports teams, is a recognized school, has fraternities and sororities, and I'm sure some parties are thrown now and than, it is nothing like the big ten schools. For students like me that aren't interested in all of that anymore or maybe just plain tired of it, this school is perfect, but it is defiantly not for the student that wants a school with a strong sense of school spirit or for a student that wants to be part of a large Greek society, or even for the student that wants the biggest parties.

Mia

Someone who isn't dedicated to their education and extracurricular activities. There is a strong emphasis on education, finding a career, and getting involved on campus, especially volunteering.

Ebone

People who aren't looking for a large city campus

Brittany

There is no such thing as someone who shouldn't attend school. Everyone should attend school even if it's just a trade school to be able to further and open their career opportunities.

Robert

A person who cannot cope with large amounts of stress would be ill-suited for this school. If a person procrastinates, that person should strive to overcome the tendency to procrastinate. Otherwise, that person will soon become overstressed.

Stacy

Someone who doesn't want to further their education shouldn't attend college.
