What's the most frustrating thing about Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis?

Katelynn

The most frustrating thing about my school is the size. It is great to get the opportunity to meet so many people but sometimes you are not even seen as a person to falculty. We are sometimes treated as if we are all just things not people.

MIchael

The program for my major was filled with instructors who weren't 'experts' in their field. It actually fit the whole 'Those who cannot do, teach' statement.

Cristina

the tuition for out-state students

Daniel

The school feels as though it is just starting to become a big undergraduate school. Meal plan and food options are very limited and on campus housing is extremely expensive for what you get. Many proffesors have heavy accents which make it a little difficult to follow in lecture.

Carly

I really dislike how spread apart the buildings are. It takes a long time to get to classes on certain days, especially when a teacher holds you after. Other than that, the school is a great school.

Clifton

The parking issue is the most frustrating thing about IUPUI. Not only do I have to compete with the other students and teachers on campus but I also have to compete with the other business/medical facilities employees who work on campus as well.

Macey

The only frustrating part about IUPUI is once again the parking. With over 30,000 students parking is extremely difficult. However, with the space of the campus they offer their best attempt at creating the most available parking to their students. I just wish that IUPUI had more room to expand on their parking lots.

The school is perfect. The only frustration I have is driving downtown. I'm from a small town and the big city and the traffic is all new to me.

Jennifer

The school is mostly a commuter school, so there aren't a lot of people that live on campus. The people that do live on campus don't seem to be very social, so there isn't a lot going on all the time like there would be a a regular university. I'm not talking about parties, but just hanging out or meeting new people in general is a lot harder.

Allison

The only thing I can think of that is frustrating at my school is the parking! There are too many students and not enough parking, but I deal with it.

Kathrynne

At first it is difficult to find where your classes are located and the cafeteria is not opened at night

Tasha

Lack of student housing. I am currently finished at IUPUI and finishing at Southern Institute of Theological Studies!

Amber

The parking on campus has to be the most frustrating thing about my school. We only have enough parking spaces for about 1/5 of the students.

Ninah

The most frustrating thing about IUPUI is that it is an urban campus. This is a great school for those who have a full time job or kids and would like to get an excellent education but do not wish to live on campus. However, for those of us who do live on campus, after 5 p.m., campus clears out, and the only people still at school are those who live here which is a small fraction of all students. It is not a traditional campus for new incoming freshman wanting to have a true college experience.

Megan

The most frustrating thing about IUPUI is the parking. Granted, they are in the process of building a new parking garage. The only way to find parking is to get there at least an hour or two before your first class.

Norene

I am not frustrated about anything concerning the school. I am happy with what IUPUI offers to me.

Taylor

There's nothing really frustrating about the school except for the parking and traffic.

Drew

I do not believe that there is really anything frustrating with this school. If I had to gripe about something, it would be about some of the lower level classes that you are required to take. In my major they have only offered test out's for two classes.

Quatina

I would have to say the parking. Although I'm personally not a driving student, I have friends that are and they complain about the lack of parking spaces available on campus.

Scott

Many of my teachers are foreign and you can not understand what they are saying most of the time. It is very hard to get help from them even in their offices.
