I think that a lot of people think that Penn State is this huge place with thousands of people that are unfriendly and don't know each other. And that everyone loves sports, especially football, of course. I think we're known for Frat Parties and hooking up, as well as being complete drunkards.

A common misconception about Penn State students is that everyone is the same, no diversity or individuality. If you are involved in Greek Life, you binge drink, do drugs, and have sex excessively. Girls wear ugg boots, leggings, and wear huge sunglasses. Guys wear jeans, a tee shirt, and sneaks. NOT TRUE.

Robin
