I loved my stay at PSU. There were many activities planned by the University and plenty of non-University events also going on. State College is a really fun town and the University offers a wide variety of interesting courses. If you want to be near a big city, PSU wouldn't be the place to go, since it's nestled in a small rural community. The closest big city (Philadpelphia) is about a 3 hour drive. I really enjoyed the University-town life though.

State College was an amazing experience that you will remember for the rest of your life.  It can be a bit overwhelming if you enter here as a freshman, which I did.  It is a large campus that offers you a variety of opportunities which may take an individual some time to determine his or her path.  My first two years I spent changing majors twice, however by my junior year I figured out my career path.  Although there were a few exceptions, most of the offered courses were amazing especially in my junior and senior years where the class sizes for your major were smaller and more appropriate.  The social life was incredible-  we certainly refer to it as "Happy Valley" for reasons!

Overall
A large variety of courses were offered with excellent staff to cover all of them. There were so many things to on campus as well. Plenty of clubs, activities, sports etc to choose from. The people and staff were very warm and friendly. Huge international student presence and great international support to go along with it. Classes were engaging and insightful. My time here flew by !
