Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus accurate?

Jody

Yes, school spirit is a huge part of life here, but it adds to the college experience in a good way. After attending a few football games, it will quickly become second-nature to you. Whenever you go home, you can be proud of the Penn State tradition.

I feel it may be 50-60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} accurate. More so if you treat it as an or statement (people here either drink and/or belong to a frat/sorority).

Joey

Yes.

I'm not going to say these kinds of people don't exist here, or that Penn State isn't huge. I'm not even going to tell you that the majority of people aren't into sports and drinking. But not EVERYONE goes greek, drinks, or even watches football at all. Penn state IS huge. But that's what makes it so great. No matter who you are, there are people like you here. It might be a little hard to find them, but they're here. We've got Hippies and Frat boys, Athletes and Feminists. There are die-hard studiers and people that party every night until dawn. If you've got a hobby, we've got a club for it. It's really wonderful. At Penn State, anyone could find their niche. You just have to keep looking.

Not accurate but I did see other nationalities there too, and the International office made alot of efforts to make us feel included

Jess

For the most part

Alex

Somewhat. Penn State main campus is in the middle of no where, so with nothing else to do, drinking and sports (official team sports to intramurral) are two major past times. And if students aren't actually in the fraternities or sororities, they are still doing activities with them or at the frat houses.

No!

Robin

The majority of them are.

Kate

I would assume so
