“I loved Penn State so much.Economics
I loved Penn State so much. The teachers there are amazing and there are so many great classes to take. The best part of going to PSU is that it's a huge campus. You will always find someone who you can connect with. I have made such great friends there. All in all, it was a great experience and I' m glad I went there. It has a great reputation all through out the country. The alumni stick together.

“Penn State, like any school, is what youQuite BrightGeography and Geosciences
Penn State, like any school, is what you make of it. The resources are there but YOU have to make an effort. As far as "just being a number" -- yes PSU is a large school and you are just a number at the university level; however, the great thing about PSU is that once you select a major then you are recognized as a person within your college/department. That is where you want to stand out and be known by name because these are the Profs and peers that are going to be your mentors and friends (and recommendation writers)Most Profs are willing to speak to you about your research interests and many will offer to have you work in their lab/ advise you on a independant project/ or thesis. Everything I took advantage of at PSU has helped me after graduation and I highly recommend it to anyone esp if you are looking to be in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences.(in case it's relevant to someone: I was a Geography major/Geosciencs minor)
