Hi! Welcome to IUP. I'm going to be your Crimson Guide taking you around the university today. Let's start here at the Oak Grove. This is our heart of campus and it's beautiful in every season. This is a place where students tend to hang out with their friends as well as in between classes. As you look around you'll see the adirondack chairs, hammocks, and blankets in the fall and spring. This is definitely a place you'll remember once you graduate.

OK, let's talk about classes. More specifically, where you'll take them. Across IUP, you'll find locations just like this one, which is Jane Leonard Hall. Our facilities have everything you need to be successful, from technology to study spaces. Most important at IUP, though, are the professors who not only teach you but guide you through hands-on learning, like research projects you want to do, or working at the student-run television and radio station, or learning at internships at thousands of businesses. It's all about giving you choices to prepare you for your future. We offer 160 plus programs; we know you'll find one that will take you where you want to go.

IUP students—who come from all over the globe—bring the world here to western Pennsylvania. One of the places you see this is in the Eberly College of Business where you won't be learning just by the book, you'll be learning by doing—investing real money in the stock market, creating your own company, managing a hospitality desk, studying abroad, doing internships at global companies, and then getting jobs there. It's our mission at IUP in every major to prepare you for making a living and being a leader, no matter what or where you want to be. And our 150,000-strong alumni network has your back. Hawks know the quality of an IUP degree, and Hawks hire Hawks!

You may think you know what a library is, but IUP's Library offers much more than you'd normally expect. It's home to the Academic Commons, which includes a help desk, STEAMSHOP makers space, a Writing Center, a math help center, the University College that provides overall academic support, and the Career and Professional Development Center, which helps you map out a four-year game plan for success after you graduate. You'll find a space to work with a group or on your own. Oh, and you can get some fuel at the coffee shop down at the first floor.

You've got to eat, right? Here at IUP, you don't have to settle for boring. Our facilities are new, and we work to give you everything you could possibly want. Sushi? We got it. Pizza and Pasta? Yep, those too. Comfort food? For sure. Gluten free or other dietary restrictions? We got you. We also have some names you know, like Chick-fil-A and Starbucks, and, oh don't forget to get some homemade gelato here at North Dining.

At IUP, where you live is just as important as where you learn. You need to be comfortable. You need to feel safe, and you need to feel at home. IUP has eight suite-style residence halls with lots of options, including six different types of shared and private suites. Lifelong best friends have met here. This is just another way IUP can transform your life.

Within a few blocks of campus, downtown Indiana offers so much to do—great restaurants ranging from American to Mexican to Thai, coffee shops, stores that have what you want when you need it, and festivals and concerts throughout the year in the downtown park. There's even a special student discount program called the Talon Ticket for downtown businesses. There's an ice center not too far from campus, and the IUP Co-op Park is accessible by the local bus service which is free to all students. It offers fantastic hiking and biking trails, a frisbee golf course, a place to cross country ski and a chance to just enjoy nature. Just minutes away from town, it's a safe and welcoming place to be a home away from home.

Everyone at IUP is a part of the Crimson Hawks family, and the Kovalchick Complex is one of the places we get together to show our pride. Our basketball and volleyball teams play here and we cheer on football, lacrosse, and field hockey next door at Miller Stadium. At IUP, when one of us wins, we all win. The KCAC is also the site of concerts, comedy shows, and events like IUP Day for our student organizations, career fairs, commencement, admissions programs, and more.
