The best thing about Penn State is the endless opportunities they provide. Between academic, social, research and extracarricular opportunies, there are so many ways to be a part of some type of group or community. You will never feel limited. There are so many ways to get involved no matter what your interests are. There is truly a place for everyone and you are never alone. Furthermore, students are always encouraged to pursue and explore all their interests. This truly helps students build their identity and learn what it is that they're meant to do.

I consider the large student population and related opportunities to be the best thing about Penn State, University Park campus. The college was large and offered many clubs, organizations, and experiences for students to take advantage of.

School spirit is amazing. The teachers and advisors work with you to help you succeed. I am an out of state student, many of times they helped me cope with new changes and homesickness.

The best thing about my school is that it is easy to become involved on campus. Even though they're a lot of students attending the university, it's and easy to meet new people who share the same ideas and hobbies as you by joining sports, clubs, and organizations. It allows you to work your way to the top and help you with your future by building a resume from school involvemnt and creating a web of connections by the people you meet.

The sense of family from current students, past students, and even high school seniors who believe that they will be attending the school. Everyone is willing to help whether you are on campus or off it. There has been many times where I was off campus, and even in a different state, wearing Penn State apparel and another person would strike up a conversation about Penn State beginning with the words, "I graduated in..." or "I have a child that goes there!" There is no better student-alumni family.

Fall 2014 is my first time attending this school. The reason I choose Penn State - World Campus, was the flexiblilty being a spouse of someone in the military and being able to take my classes with me, if needed.

The best thing about Penn State is that there is always a place for someone. It has every niche activity or club imaginable and it is very easy to fit in anywhere without compromising values.

I love being on my own away from home. I feel like I've become a completely different person than I was in high school.

We are like one, big family.

I really like the size of the campus and it's location. It is in the center of downtown State College, surrounded by unlimited shops and restaurants. There are so many things to do around the Penn State Campus.
