Pennsylvania State University-University Park

Pros: There's always SOMETHING going on....
Cons: A lot of little things that add up to a BIG pain

First, I don't want to say I HATE Penn State. I don't; if it was THAT bad, I wouldn't have stayed for these four years. If I hadn't gone to PSU, I never would have met my wonderful fiance! BUT, I don't think Penn State is that great. I'm not even going...

Cons: none

I won't be shy about it. I had a wonderful four years at Penn State. I go back to campus often, and as my husband always says, there's just something about visiting Penn State that always puts a smile on our faces. In the interest of helping...

Pros: best school on Earth!
Cons: administration is almost corporate at this point

This will most likely be a LONG epinion, so bear with me. It will be worth it – if you are a Penn Stater or know someone who is. This is about social life, so take everything with a tub of salt – it’s meant to be fun and enjoyable.

Pros: Variety, Subway close-by
Cons: Stomach-churning, poor, So much worse than last year.

As a freshman last year at Penn State, I didn't know quite what to expect when it came to the food. Of course, I figured if I'm paying $18,000 a year to go to this school, that the food should be far better than high school.

This came...

Pros: very good internship program
Cons: no famous writers on staff

To answer all the people who have asked me this question over the years: I did not get a degree in English to be a teacher. I pursued this degree to get a job in publishing.

I began my Penn State academic career as a journalism major, but...

Pros: Convenient, close to everything, and overall a good life experience
Cons: hard to get after first year, small rooms

Well, my first year is over and I have survived 8 months living with a complete stranger in a 10 by 12 foot room. Like most other freshman, I ended up living in a dorm in the East Halls complex. Overall, in the end I was glad I was in East Halls. It...

Pros: n/a
Cons: sucks to have to need this stuff

I was recently transcribing my old article on Campus Crime (it will be up on http://www.delanet.com/~martytdx/campus_crime.htm by 9/10), and I realized that the what used to be relatively crime free havens (aside from petty theft and drunken fights...

When my husband and I each applied for admission to Penn State (long before we knew each other), we both noticed one of the choices to the question "Why did you choose to apply to Penn State?" was Football. I smiled and checked yes. My...

Cons: Only as good as what you make it; Fussy administration

Are you a high school senior looking for a slightly biased opinion about Penn State? Or are you simply curious about one of the top public educational institutions in the country? Look no further. I attended the University Park campus of Penn State from...

Pros: Beautiful architecture, many study lounges, convenient location, unique amenities
Cons: Doubles as an office building

I didn't even decide I was going to Penn State until two months before I was supposed to graduate from high school. Although I put my housing contract in quite late by PSU standards, I somehow escaped assignment to temporary housing. This had both pros...
