Final comments
it is not too bad to drive from the major cities nearby (Phili, Pittsburgh) and that can save you some money (instead of flying to State College). you can even take the bus if the schedule is adapted.

Personal spending habits
Accommodation in America is generally more expensive than in Australia. I spent less on telephone calls as all local calls were free from the dorms. I spent more on travel because I was in the States to travel.

Overall
The University offers so many opportunities to its students. It's incredible! They are also very flexible with majors since you have a chance to switch it at any time you want. Very interesting student life as well. There is more than 300 clubs you can join so it covers all the possible interests. I never regretted the decision of going there.

Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university

Personal comments
Not being 21, fraternity parties and apartment parties were my best options for night activity. Since turning 21, you can't beat the Cafe on Friday afternoons for 1/2 price Long Island Iced Teas! The G-Man is also pretty good, and it also has a small dance floor. Players is an OK dance club. The Deli has great food - especially dessert!
