Top 5 Reasons Why I Love IUP

For me, finding the right college wasn't a tough decision. I visited the campus and I fell in love. I didn't take for me to know I was in the right place when I started school here. I am so proud to call IUP my home. These are 5 reasons why I love IUP.

1. The Oak Grove

The very heart of IUP is the Oak Grove. Regardless of the season, it is as beautiful as ever.

2. The Professors

I have had some of the most inspiring and passionate professors just in my first two years here at IUP. I couldn't be prouder to have these kinds of people teaching my classes every single day.

3. The Town of Indiana

I am someone that has always wanted to move to New York City, yet there's something about the small town charm of Indiana that I love. Philadelphia Street is the main attraction that has amazing and unique boutiques, cafes and shops.

4. The People

The students, the faculty, and people of Indiana are all such great people. There's nothing better than going to college in a small town.

5. The Opportunity

The saying that "college is what you make it" remains to be true, but at IUP they go above and beyond to get everyone involved. There is something for everyone here and it makes the school even more like a community.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
