Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Largest school in the PA State System of Higher Ed, and the only one that confers doctoral degrees. Has a horrible reputation due to extremely low undergrad admissions standards, giving it big "party school" image. Eventually, unqualified students are weeded out via one of three paths: a) they are academically dismissed due to being a total idiot, b) they are expelled for behavior violatons (usually alcohol-related), or c) they withdraw from all their classes and go to trade school. Despite this, IUP has some very bright students, and undergrad classes are taught by top-notch doctoral-level faculty, almost all of whom have Ph.D's or the equivalent in their fields.
Student A: What schools are you applying to?
Student B: I got accepted to all that I applied to...I'm going to IUP.
Student A: You mean I Usually Party?
Student B: Yeah, but I plan to actually go to class, study, and not be a drunken asshat.

Aka the “Indiana University of Pennsylvania”. IUP is the university that should honestly be renamed as the “Indiana College University of Pennsylvania”. In that case, “ICUP” or “I see you pee” would become its new acronym.
