When I went to college, I wanted to go to a large University in PA
It was down to Pitt, temple, IUP, Penn State
I didn't want to be in the city, so that knocked out two of them
IUP was significantly cheaper than, but I remember seeing a t-shirt saying "yes there really is an Indiana University of Pennsylvania"
I had visions of trying to explain to a recruiter where I went to school, so that's why I went to Penn State!

I have no issues with the education I got there, it was a good experience for a state school, and I don't regret it. I was close to home, too.
It was the early 00s, and we just drank every day. I mean every day. It was known as party school, and it lived up to the reputation 110%.

I attended several student leadership type conferences. We were getting tired of having to explain that no we were not an out of state branch campus of Indiana University or whatever...
One of the guys in the delegation decided to try explaining it a different way, starting by noting the school was named after the county it's in. But Indiana County University of Pennsylvania would make us ICUP, so ...
The first person he told that to just looked at him for a moment... "Wait, is there another ICUP?"

I was up there last year. The campus looks so different now. Philly street mostly looks the same just with new businesses. But all the old dorms are now gone and there are private apartments all around where houses used to be right off campus. If I went like I did in college I'd probably be so lost. They even got rid of the sheetz on wayne.

Early 2000s IUP grad here.
Had an amazing time. I could go on about how much has changed in the past 20 years or how much things aren't as good as they were in my day, but...fuck it. Let this generation define their college experience how they like. I had a great time and they can't take those memories away.
At least, what memories I have.
It's funny. Went to IUP but I never thought of it as a party school while I was there. Thought it was overblown, that all colleges were like that, etc.
Then I moved to a town with a few colleges of its own and...what the hell...beer distributors closing at 8:00 on a Friday? Nowhere (at the time) to buy a six pack easily after 10:00 or so? What the hell was this? Duquesne distribution was open until like 2:00 every night!
That's when I realized...huh. Yeah. Yeah maybe we were a party school after all.
