Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus Top Questions

I really wish that I knew the percentage of minorities the school had. Most of the students are White and Asian. These students for the most part don't want to make friends with people that don't look like them. I find it hard to stay in the school because of this but what I had to do was make friends with people who felt and look like I do.

Nothing really I did an extensive amount of research on the school, and i was fortunate enough to have a friend that was already there

I do not wish I had known anything. I am happy that I came to campus knowing what there was online and what Penn State sent me. Penn State has so much to offeer I do not know where to begin. It is so exciting to be able to experience so many different clubs and organizations as well as classes at Penn State. I mean who could not love this atmosphere?

I wish I had known about the hyper-social drinking issues and the lack of social/environmental conern among the students. I wish I would have known about the lack of accessability to diverse activities outside the immediately surrounding town.

Due to the size of the campus it made it hard to get to know your classmates and teachers. There were class sizes of hundreds of students. It made it difficult to build a relationship with some of the teachers. The campus size can also be intimidating, especially if you have classes scheduled closely together in time but almost a mile apart in distance. Be prepared to walk or learn the shuttle schedule.

I wish I would have been aware of the number of clubs and activities that are available for students to join which allows you the ability to meet new people and develop friendships thus making the campus feel like a smaller place.

Classes are really large and impersonal as a freshman. You need to do a lot of work on your own time.

There is really nothing that I wish I had konw because I love my school and I have not had any real surprises.

how to get more financial aid that was awarded yearly.

Since I am already 22 I wish I would have done my own research on Penn State during High School. After researching this school now and seeing all the clubs, academics, current students, and staff it makes me wish I could go back in time. The school is full of spirit, and optimism for your future, and I wish I would have known this earlier.
