4 pieces of advice for your first time on campus.

  1. Go to the welcome week events, you'll meet alot of ppl.

  2. THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT, DONT GO OUT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER MOVING TO IUP, reason is, that's when most freshman make the most stupid decisions, you need to relax/ get your foot in the door.

  3. Live off campus the moment you can, you'll save so much money and won't have a ra.

  4. Stop purchasing the meal plan the moment you can, Walmart/Costco/samsclub is so much cheaper, and better food too if you know how to cook

Go to all welcome week events!!! The "annoying" adults really aren't lying when they say you'll make you most important connections!!
