Ya, it's odd. The idea is this:

Indiana and Purdue are both in what would be hill jack towns (no offence to hill jacks) if not for the universities. IUPUI is set in downtown Indy.

Indiana is know for it's liberal arts programs, while Purdue is knows as a very strong science school. Put them both together and you get a well round school with a campus demographic unlike most. It's a huge commuter campus, and while your median age at, say Indiana, is probably close to 20 or 21, IUPUI is probably closer to 25-27. Kinda out of my ass numbers, but those types are thrown around a lot on campus.

Also to further confuse things for ya Syc . . .

There is a IUPUK (Kokomo), IPFW (Fort Wayne), IUSB (South Bend), and a few others . . . and on top of all that . . . there is an IUPUIC (Indiana, Purdue @ Indianapolis @ Columbus). It's an extension of the indy campus.
