I would say Penn State is best known for football. We are in the Big 10 division, and we have what has been deemed "the best Student Section in the country." We also have the largest alumni network. In addition, we have the country's third best astronomy department.

Penn State Dance Marathon is very well known. Our Football team and Fans are recognized by ESPN quite often.

The younger generation calls it "the party school" but the older generation tells the youth "this univerisity is known world wide for its excellency in preparing student for the real world".

Football games, no doubt, which is enhanced by our school pride and echoed by the large student population. Others may say we are known for our high tuition cost.

Our school is best known for our strong tradition of excellence in many areas. Our students have a huge sense of pride for the character of our students and faculty. We are a student body that wants to make a positive impact on the world. This is seen through our nationally known THON event. We are known for a great agriculture and food science program and we are home to the largest university run creamery in the nation. We are also known for successful athletic programs that are a strong force in the Big Ten Conference.

Penn State is best known for a lot of things, but when you ask someone what they think about when they hear the name Penn State they would tell you football. Football is a huge thing on this campus. The school spirit here is unlike any other school. At the football games this is evident. Football creates a bond between everyone in the school. We all can come together and enjoy an event together under one roof.

I would say it's a toss up between the academic program and the instructors. Penn State is known for it's tough academic programs and everyone I've spoken to has nothing but the best to say about the professors.
Angelique
My school is best known for the high graduation rates. It is also known for the high rate of post-graduation jobs.

My school is probably best known for its athletics as well as its academics. Our football team is always on the news while our volleyball and fencing teams have won multiple national championships in the past few years. Our academics are fantastic. These classes are interesting but tough and keep me motivated to do well. Having "graduated from Pennsylvania State University" on a transcript is something I don't think an employer could ignore.
