Nia

When I tell my friends about my school I brag about only the name itself and that is it. Since it is Penn State everyone knows about it and knows having this on a degree can get you very far. There is nothing else on the campus to brag about.

Adeola

Being an alumni from a Big 10 School makes me very proud . I find that whenever I am having discussion with my friends about my school and our college experiences, I tend to almost always bring up the fact that we have an amazing football team. Since football games are major events at the school, it was always fun to participate in tail-gating activities and enjoy days with other Penn State students and staff. Volunteering at the games were also fun because I had an opporunity to meet Penn State alumni and share experiences that others can never understand.

How easy it is to fit in and the respect I recieve from my professors.

On my first day of classes however, I made some new friends that even though they are younger are sure to be my friends in many years to come.

When I tell my friends about Penn State they can't believe how involved I am. I'm in numerous clubs on campus. I am president for the Nittany Players, PSU Schuylkill's drama club. I am also secretary of the Keystone Honor Society and for the cheerleaders. Even though I am very involved I still keep over a 3.0 GPA. Most of my friends from Connecticut are amazed that I can do all of this and still do well in my classes. It takes a lot of work and knowing what takes priority.

Students are also very willing to help each other by starting study groups when fellow students need help.
