It is not extremely hard to get in to PSUNov 22 2010Unknown
It is not extremely hard to get in to PSU. Just be sure to have good grades and do decently on your SAT or ACT. It is always better to be involved in extracurricular activities, but it isn't a crucial factor in one's acceptance to the university.

I appliedNov 14 2010Art & Design Department
I applied. Apply to another program, just not art. The teachers are burned out and alot of them I felt were upset they didn't become the next Pollock. I sat through one class in particular and watched a review of one instructor's art backlog. I wondered to myself "am i really paying money to review your art?"
