Most Helpful Review for Penn State University

Penn State is a first class University. Professors are both well informed and intriguing. Even the biggest lecture classes can seem like an engaging one on one meeting. The class listings also are very various and allow for much customization in the college experience. Ine general professors and advisers seem to genuinely care about my progress. The only con I find is that since the school is so large many of the courses fill up quickly so stay on your toes.

    The teachers and staff in the College of Agricultural Science are very friendly, competent, and professional. PSU has many opportunities to get involved in community service or extracurricular activities. I feel PSU provides a very high quality education.

    Penn State is one big family. As an African American student it was a little hard adjusting to a predominately white school but everything turned out just fine. I have found great friends here and had so many memorable experiences at Penn State. I love my Alma Mater and will miss it when I graduate. WE ARE!
