The school spirit at Penn State is incomparable. The massive student body is brought together over their love of Penn State Football, JoePa, and the Nittany Lions in general.
It can be easy to get lost in the crowd because of the size of the school. However, it is what you make of it and it can easily become a smaller school setting if you join one of over 700 clubs or campus organizations that Penn State offers. It is all about taking initiative at PSU.
Yes, Penn State was easily the best time of my life. Never will I ever meet better people who are more like me. Never will I ever have more fun than I did when I was at PSU. There was honestly not one thing I disliked about my 4 years of undergrad and if I could do it again, I would do it exactly the same - except figure out a way not to graduate so I could stay there forever. I truly left my heart in Happy Valley.

I wish I knew The weather is beyond whacky. It could be raining one minute and beyond beautiful the next. However, everything else makes up for the not so hot weather.
