This college is open to everyone, although many who inspire to go here normally have a party school set in mind. Don't get me wrong, Penn State is infact a large party school, however a person's academics and future is the focus. People how strive for success and are hoping to experience a sublime education while having an amazing social life.

You should be outgoing and like to be involved because there are a lot of opportunities. Also, you should not be afraid of a large campus, although it does not seem as big once you get used to it.

The type of person that should attend this school, to get the best out of it, is someone who would not mind a large university, somewhat intereested in sports as football is a very large part of school spirit, very socially active, academically focused, disciplined, open-minded, and career oriented.
Josh
A person who wants many opportunities to succeed and isnt afraid to pursue those opportunities.
Katty
Anyone that has the willingness to succeed and meet plenty of new people.
Someone that enjoys a big learning environment and has plenty of love for football and lots of school spirit.
Ed
Any person who enjoys both school and fun at the same place. Anyone who wants to meet a lot of people and get involved in organizations across the board would like this school. It's big, but it also has a small town feel.
Christopher
People who will have pride and dedication to their alma mater. Pennsylvania State University is not just about education, but also tradition and family (family being your classmates). People who are open to new ideas, cultures, and religions and who are willing to go the distance to study hard for their goals will fit in with others who share the same ideals. The party scene is large, but we are a school that knows the right balance between work and play.
Sarah
Someone who is outgoing, can make friends easily and independent. You need be motivated to do schoolwork on your own and know when to stay in to do work and when to have fun.
Aly
Most likely an in-state student from Pennsyvlania although out-of staters also adjust well to school here. Should like the cold weather and living in Happy Valley, not near a city.

Penn State is for an individual who is open-minded, ready to learn, become involved, and excited to experience the best of what college has to offer! Penn State is for the individual who can handle demanding classes while maintaining his or her well-being, social life, spirituality, and safe mentality. An understood requirement of Penn State students, a Penn State student should be able to cheer exceptionally loud, wear blue and white to an extreme, and never settle for anything but the best - Penn State.
