Imagine wandering around campus, having to find the HUB-Robeson Center and then being dropped off at a dorm 20 minutes away with instructions to return the next morning at 9 a.m.
Penn State is a huge campus, but joining clubs and student groups can be the easiest way to get to know people instead of getting lost in the numbers.
Dropping those tough fall classes is not the only option that students have in order to maintain a good grade point average.
College is a rare place because students often live with strangers, possibly only sharing the goal of not flunking out. Since Penn State does not issue surveys to match up roommates, any situation could result.
After a controversial end to the spring semester when the State College Borough Council approved surveillance cameras for Beaver Avenue, the summer brought several quieter months of activity for the council.
A is for ARHS Association of Residence Hall Students -- the student group focused on concerns and events involving on-campus students
Although State College may not be that large of a town, a variety of transportation systems in Centre County offer a great number of services for students to get from here to there.
Construction on campus has become an annual inevitability at Penn State during the past few years, and this year is no different.
Don't worry Pepsi fans: the brand of soda is, and will remain, the official drink of Penn State.

Even though State College is a melting pot of various drinking establishments, everyone seems to have a place or two he or she likes to call home. The veteran bar hopper knows the places to go depending on his or her disposition. Every fall, a new breed of students flocks into Penn State with high expectations, low bank accounts and no one to advise them. They are freshmen and, for some, alone for the first time. The experience of living in a 300-person residence hall is a far cry from the comforts of home and students ponder what to take and what to leave behind as the packing process begins. Creating your own cinder-block palace with 299 neighbors and a communal bathroom will be a challenge. The retro look is back in fashion. A skiier takes advantage of the icey snow at Tussey Mountain.
