IUPUI???

[33girl]

OK, I think there are a few people from Indiana U on here, so maybe you can help me. I was reading U-Wire Today and there was a story from Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis. Is this a separate university from the other Purdue? Or is it a special branch of IU? I am confused!!

Hey 33girl--

IUPUI (sometimes pronounced Ooooh--eee--pooo--eee), is a joint venture between Indiana University and Purdue University, located in Indianapolis, so:

I--Indiana
U--University
P--Purdue
U--University
I--Indianapolis

IUPUI is its own university, but it shares the resources of both IU and Purdue (both of which are state-funded universities).

To add to the confusion, IU's school of Medicine (which is not at all affiliated with Purdue) is on the IUPUI campus.

Hope this is helpful!!!
