Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus Top Questions

I wish I would have know more of the tutoring opportunities available on campus.

That I should have applied to Main Campus first... I transferred from the Harrisburg branch campus, and would have loved to been able to spend more time at the REAL Penn State!

There is nothing that I wish I had known before I came to this school, my enrollment counselor & my academic advisor have been very helpful within educating me with everything that I have needed and wanted to know before I start my first set of classes in May 2013.

what the dorms look like.

Honestly, I knew everything I needed to know before I came to this school, and once I started classes I knew I had chosen the right school.

I wish I had known the obstacles of attending school on such a big campus. While so many resources are available, I wish I had known that you have to be paying consistent attention in order to find out about just how many there are and how they are beneficial to you. You are not always told about what is available unless you happen to be in the right place at the right time or hear about them or you find out about them through a reliable friend.

Before I attended Penn State University, I wish I had known how to manage my time better. It took a big toll on me the first semester my freshmen year and affected my grades a lot. Since then I have gotten better and my grades have definitely improved. Also, I wish I knew what I wanted my major to be. That affected my grades negatively, but since I chose to be a psychology major, I knew where I wanted to go, and helped me to do better in school.

I wish someone had told me that it was acceptable to take less than 18 credits. I was under the impression that I needed to make the best of my tuition, but really, I could have been enjoying 15 credit semesters and still have graduated on time.

I wish I would have known how much I would have missed home and would have to become accustomed to living on my own and making my own decisions on a daily basis.
