Indiana University of PA-Baking&Pastry Arts

[Kristy]

Hello to everyone, I'm brand spankin new here and have been reading some posts, and you all sound like you know what you're talking about...
I was just wondering if anyone out there had taken the IUP Baking & Pastry Arts program, because I am looking at perhaps enrolling there. I would appreciate any sort of advice or tips!
A little of my background: I'm 23 and I already have an associates degree and am a medical assistant, but I've decided that I want to persue my passion of baking, but I don't want to be living in debt for the rest of my life!
Also, were there any sorts of financial aid programs that helped a bunch?

Again, I really really appreciate any information...Thank you!!

IUP is a huge party college and i know a couple dozen people who have failed because of that so u have to be very strong and avoid tempatation at that college. As for the baking and pastry arts program im pretty sure its fairly new but thats about all i know.

I heard iup is a huge party college too but i went to visit it today and they had signs up saying no underage drinking and if you get caught with alchol you get thrown suspended and could be expeled, but if they enforce it i dont know. As far as the collage go it is very nice. Thats probaly where i will end up going next year. They said to get in the baking and pasterie that there are only 15 people a year and the basicaly said that they are hand picked so you might want to look into that more. as far as expence goes i thinks it pretty cheap compared to some of the othere schools i looked at.
