Penn State was a great choice for meQuite BrightMechanical Engineering
Penn State was a great choice for me because it had top notch engineering, great football, and lots to do outside of class. I probably would have had a great time if I went to any big school, but Penn State has been a blast. The one thing I would say is that you have to be proactive here or else you will become just a number. But it is easy to be proactive when there is so many ways to get the most out of this school.

I love PSU, the professors, the beauty of the school and the course work. I'm from the area and know that people in this area can be arrogant and unfriendly sometimes. There are friendly people, but for the most part I don't think the majority of people are too enjoyable. I am proud to be a PSU student and know that my degree will be highly regarded with potential employers.
