<p>I’m not an altoona student - but you won’t be getting your business education from Altoona. You’ll get all of that mainly during your second two years at University Park. You’ll be mostly taking your gen-eds that are pretty standard across the board at whatever school you’d go to. As far as diversity goes, it’s 81% in state students, and 81% white people. So if you don’t like white people, you probably shouldn’t go there. University Park is about the same, just with a bit more out of state students. </p>

<p>Edit: since I can’t post the link, google penn state altoona student reviews and you should get some from students there.</p>

<p>I have already deposited my enrollment fee and I therefore I have already secured a place at the campus. So I m least worried abt housing. </p>

<p>Thank u ectremepower for the amazing links. I read and I believe 6/10 consider altoona a great or good choice while others don’t. </p>

<p>As for diversity, it’s not that I don’t like white people… I like em… I m Jst worried about how friendly they would be. </p>

<p>Altoona sounds good to me. Ultimately it’s the degree u get from the penn state. </p>

<p>These reviews helped me a lot. More aee welcomed.</p>
