Question
I am a current freshman at penn state,BrightFinance
I am a current freshman at penn state, and I could not be happier with my decision to attend. The education you receive at Penn State is world renowned. Whenever you tell somebody you go to Penn State, they will be impressed. I am in the Smeal college of business. We were recently ranked number one in job recruitment. There are so many resources available to you here as well. Socially, the school revolved around greek life, especially for guys. Most guys choose to join a fraternity because you will have no social life if you do not. Although this may not sound ideal, i assure you joining a fraternity will be the best decision you have ever made. Girls do not need to join a sorority, don't waste your time. Overall, Penn State is a well respected academic institution with a booming greek social scene.
