Campus Visit Notes for Penn State University Park
Visit Description:
They don't call it "Happy Valley" for nothing. And that football stadium--the biggest in the country now, even bigger than Michigan's "Big House." It is a sight to behold. It took my breath away, and I'm not a huge college football fan.
Great campus. Brand new law school building under construction. Lots to do in University Park and State College (the town). Food, fun, football, and parties at the state's flagship university. An excellent cost-effective education at a nationally recognized institution.
Nothing to see outside of University Park and State College except woods and boondocks, but you'll never need to leave away. You may never want to leave.
