Indiana University of Pennsylvania's website and information centers have improved greatly in the 3 years that I’ve been here. Usually with a simple search of the internet, or a call to the right people, and I can find out what I need to know. But I know we still have a lot of questions for IUP, some we have asked but got no answers to and some that we’ve been too scared to ask. Here are some questions for IUP that we’ve all been thinking.

1. Why is Weyandt always so hot?
2. Why didn’t the university reopen Grant street?
   
3. Why can’t you park in most lots from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.?
4. Why doesn’t Chick-fil-a, Starbucks and Java City take meal swipes?
5. Why are the walls in the dorms so thin?
6. Why are the sidewalks in the Oak Grove in such interesting patterns?
   
7. Why is Robert Shaw so far away?
8. Why is the per-credit tuition plan happening? Isn’t school expensive already?
9. Why isn’t there a walk-way in between Maple and Delaney?
10. Why don’t vending machines take flex?
11. Why is Folger only open until 7:30?
12. Why is Chick-fil-a not open on Sundays? (oh wait, nevermind)
    
13. Why is Starbucks not open until 4 p.m. on weekends?
14. Why are there not more group study rooms in the library? (Here's a link to the library maps to see what resources they do have!)
15. Why are there not more outlets in the library?
16. Why does the stairwell in the middle of the Humanities and Social Science Building only go from the Ground floor to the first floor?
17. Why is living in the suites so darn expensive?
    
18. Why are all the traditional dorms shut down?
19. Why was the HSS Building the first academic building rebuilt since Eberly while there has been numerous new food places and suites?
20. Why are there never openings at the Counseling Center? (Here's a link to walk-in hours and other resources from the Center for Health and Well-being)
    
21. Where exactly can I park and when? Will I get in trouble? Do I have to pay?
22. Why is the “road” in front of Wallwork not a road?
23. Was Keith really haunted?
    
24. Is Sutton haunted?
25. Why does the atrocious hill from the Crimson Café to the football field exist?
26. Why aren’t more meal options exactly one or two meal swipes? Why do I have to pay $.14 in flex?
27. Why are the steps in Ackerman so steep?
    
28. Why can’t printing be free?
29. Why do professors still use the P:Drive for students to access powerpoints and lecture notes? Why don’t they just switch to Moodle or D2L?
30. Why isn’t there a bereavement leave policy for students who suffer the loss of loved ones during the semester?
31. Why the classes that we need to graduate full when we are allowed to schedule?
32. Why does the new technology in the HSS building only work 75 percent of the time?
33. Why do we need webcams and microphones in every classroom in the HSS building?
34. Why is the coffee in the Eberly Café and the POD disgusting?
35. Why doesn’t finals week just start on Monday and then we can be done Thursday instead of Friday?
36. Why do we never get snow days when its -5 degrees and blizzarding or when we have a foot of snow on the ground? We do have commuters…
    
37. Why is the Wi-Fi so terrible on the third floor of the library?
38. Why is the Co-op Store so expensive?
39. Why does the university host prospective student tours on the Friday and Saturday of IUPatty’s?
    
40. Why isn’t Java City open 24/7, especially during finals week?
41. Why is fall break usually only one week before finals week?
42. Why can’t there be free coffee and cookies in the library every day instead of just finals week?
43. Why are Walsh and Weyandt considered separate buildings?
    
44. Why are there ashtrays right in front of all buildings when you aren’t allowed to smoke so close to entrances anyway?
45. Why do professors have to have a meeting/cumulative activity/final during finals week? If there isn’t a final, there isn’t a need for us to our waste time…
46. Why are there so many lights on in Elkin Hall when one person lives there?
47. Why can’t I get free tuition when I get hit by a car in the crosswalk?
48. Why doesn’t the Commonplace take flex (and if you’ve never heard of this place and like coffee, you need to)? Can we please make that happen?
    
49. Why can’t students check out power cords at the library past 12:30? We still need them…
50. And lastly....
