Good reviews
Overall 4.6
Love everything about it and also the graduate schools here too. Plus the many hospitals around.
Overall 4.5
I've genuinely enjoyed my time at IUPUI, I am currently a junior and my experience here has been wonderful. Before covid, campus was so alive and there was something going on around campus.
Overall 4.5
Great school with great professor and opportunities.
Overall 4.4
I enjoyed completing my degree here, I was really shy coming in and when I graduated I was really involved on campus as being a part of multiple clubs, participating in internships and research opportunities.

I really like IUPUI you have to get involved to have a good experience.
Overall 4.3
I love IUPUI. I would love for them to do more to make those that travel to feel welcome. I would also love for them to do more to include African American students. I see the other sororities doing things on campus and inviting people to join but I do not see that of the sororities black sororities.

IUPUI gets a "boring" reputation because it has a lot of commuters. The people that say this school is boring are the ones that are expecting friends and opportunities to fall into their lap. Yes, there are a lot of commuters, but if you put in even a little effort to meeting people or joining clubs/greek life you'll find that theres plenty to do.

A great campus. If you're looking for a smaller campus, this isn't for you. Total inner-city school, minutes away from Mass Ave. There are so many opportunities to find friends, the campus is so warm. Get involved -- I know they all say it, but really do. It'll make you not want to leave. Can't wait to go back in the fall. IUPUI 22' <3

This school offers a lot of opportunities and is 100% what you make of it!

I found this to be a rather enjoyable experience. The location is convenient, so I did not have to live on campus and pay cost of living expenses. There are many ways to earn scholarship money and there has been ample opportunity to try out new experiences and develop new skills. However, I have seen shady people walking around, so just be careful.

This campus is so small and so boring. Everyone is so weird and lame and I have made 0 friends after spending an entire year here. I want to graduate asap so I can leave and never look back. Also the food sucks and there is no social life at all.

Overall 1.8
I was kind of disappointed with my experience here at this school. It was mediocre at best, frustrating and exhausting at worst. The professors I had were hit or miss, For every great professor like Fallowfield or Yard, there will always be a Lefler or a Mahon or any ENG-W270 writing professor to ultimately ruin the experience. AVOID AT ALL COST!!!
Overall 1.9
If you're in STEM, good luck getting a job. No one recruits from this school because they spend all of their time at Purdue West Lafayette. If you care about getting a job with a large company in STEM, do not go here. Most online applications won't even have IUPUI listed as an option. Underfunded STEM, poor opportunities, and no job support.
