Prior to freshmen year at Penn State, I have dreamed about the opportunity to participate in a study abroad program. With that in mind, I planned my academic schedule at Penn State to accommodate a semester abroad. It is important to my academic career that I take the opportunity to explore different cities and understand the worlds’ […]

Now it is crunch time for students that are preparing for finals and the last canning trip this weekend. After the last football game on Saturday, everyone is now getting into the holiday spirit!

Bundle Up
It’s winter time in State College! People can put away their vests and take out their parkas because it’s the beginning of a cold winter. A lot of freshmen are not used to the cold weather so soon and they have to be prepared, especially on game day. I would advise investing in a big […]
Live from University Park!
On Thursday, November 6th, I live tweeted my day and shared it on all the Undergraduate Admissions accounts! It was fun to share my experience with prospective students and a wider range of followers. I definitely saw a lot more interaction with my posts when I posted pictures. As a junior majoring in marketing, most […]

Good Eats
Freshmen year, I lived in Shulze Hall in Pollock and it was the best year of my life. I made unforgettable experiences and friends that I will have for a lifetime. One of the biggest transitions into freshmen year was definitely the food. I was so used to have a home cooked meal every day […]
The New South
I currently live on campus in Chace Hall at Penn State Main Campus. I absolutely love living on campus because it is convenient for classes and South is a newly renovated area. The South dorms have new amenities like a full kitchen, individual bathrooms, study rooms and most importantly air-conditioning! Most of the new dorms […]
Flu Season
It’s that time of year where everyone in classes are getting sick. Before college, I relied on my mom whenever I was sick. She always knew what to do and more importantly how to cure me. When I was packing for college, my mom made sure I had all the prescriptions I needed in case […]
