Why Penn State?
Why Not?
You'll make plenty of friends in the college. Whether you come from Philadelphia, New York, Washington, D.C., or a small town, this is your chance to meet the world. Many students from other countries make our college their home. So don't assume you won't fit in if you've never visited a farm.
Our students want to be scientists, engineers, financial analysts, educators, vets, landscape contractors, animal production managers, and plant producers. What holds them together? A love of discovery, a love of the outdoors, and a love of doing something that's real.
When you select Penn State, you'll be getting choices. This is your time to try on new things. At Penn State, you'll form a network of friends that will carry through your adult life. And whether you apply for a job in California or Pennsylvania, you can count on the boss recognizing the Penn State name and being impressed.
