Accepted Students Days Thread - 2020

We had breakfast in our hotel. If we didn’t, we would have stopped at the Corner Room or something for breakfast (which I would recommend, it’s a great place).

If you have not been before then you will get much more out of than we did. It was our 5th visit to campus (various reasons), so there was nothing really new offered for our experience. My spin shouldn’t be taken as all negative. We like the campus and the school a great deal, and my son has established a pretty good relationship with the music teacher he’d be working with as a minor (if he picks PSU).

But for information, you will likely only get an overview of the college accepted into, not anything from specific majors (at least that was the deal with the college of engineering). The Spend a Summer Day program was much more comprehensive with presentations from individual departments within the college.

In that regard, you start to feel a bit more like a number entering a college than an individual entering a particular major. And they remind you that you are not entering a specific major. I think the lack of ‘sales pitch’ to sway people who are still undecided is at least, in part, due to the knowledge that they will get their numbers regardless.

There are resources aplenty at PSU and the people who you will be interacting with are all great and friendly. They are also ready to answer any question you have and proved very helpful. Every student volunteer that we interacted with were tremendous. There is no shortage of school spirit and pride.
