Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus Top Questions

People who want really small campuses.

If you are a slacker, then you should not attend PSU. The courses are not extremely hard to pass, but they definitely require both time and effort.

Someone who really doesn't have any goals, or never took school seriously. If you're only here to party, you're going to fail.

Anyone from lower income families should not come here. Different majors can also be gender, racially, and financially discriminating.

A person who isn't outgoing shouldn't attend Penn State. There are so many people and different things to do here that you have to get involved and put yourself out there to really make the most of the experience.

This college is very accomodating to all types of people, but i guess the people who shouldn't attend would be the ones who don't want to be involved and social, because without involvement and social activities college would be no fun. Also if a person doesn't like large lecture halls, they might not like this school because most of the general education classes are taken in a 300-700 person lecture hall, but all classes relating to your major will be in smaller classrooms.

A person who is goal driven should attend this school. They need to be focused and able to keep up with the work load because there is much to learn. The person also needs to open to variety.

I think anyone would find a place to fit it

Penn State University Park is not for a very shy person nor someone who needs smaller classes. Many classes consist of over 100 students so you will never get that one on one attention like in high school unless you actively go to a teacher's office hours. Getting to know people at this school means expanding your horizons and taking an initiative to join clubs and go to meetings.

Penn State is so diverse that anyone can attend and be able to fit in.
