Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus? Why?

The worst thing about my school would have to be the dining hall that is assigned to the freshman. Findley Commons, as it is known, manages to feed the thousands of freshman food that neither looks appetizing nor tastes very good. Luckily there are four other dining halls we can attend, where the food is actually edible. The Findley Dining Hall offers a variety but doesn't really make it look very pleasing to eat.

The heavy association with alcohol and the student social life is entirely too much. I think too many situations get out of hand and cause students to feel that they cannot have fun unless alcohol is present. I consider this to be the worst thing about my school because it is not necessary at all in my opinion, and I wish more students felt that way.

Similar to most universities, the issues with under-aged drinking and alcohol poisoning is the unfortunate aspect of being a Penn Stater. Whenever there is a party, drinking is an activity either following the event or is an act performed before the event; this is known as "pre-gaming". However, the students who link this representation of "party school" to Penn State are also the ones who will still attend class with a killer hang over the next day. Penn Staters know that they are accountable for their actions and understand the importance of succeeding academically when fun is inappropriate.

It's hard to get good financial aid

Toni

The size of the school is extremely large. It's difficult to make friends if you're not in small classes or groups.

The worse thing about the school is there aren't many resources for students who have psychological issues. This is a problem because college students are amongst the highest group of people who suffer from depression, anxiety, stress, and committ suicide.

Steven

The engineering majors require too much work.

Blake

The worst thing i consider about my school is that there are too many parties at the weekend because it can possbily distract students' attention from their studyings. it can also bother the students who try to focus on their studying, howmework or exam at the weekend. Particularly, it might cause students easily into the fight if they got drunk. However, there is rarely a trouble in my campus and i hope this situation will not happen in my Campus .
