- When did you visit?
We visited in April, my daughter was admitted as a transfer student. The campus was gorgeous! Amazingly well manicured and maintained. Lovely flowers and landscaping. - Where did you stay? Would you recommend it?
I have stayed at the Hyatt a couple time but my favorite is The Graduate. I always stay there when they have vacancy. Short walk to campus, reasonable price, parking on site, cool/quirky vibe. - Where did you eat? Did you try any local specialties?
We have struggled a bit to find a good sit down family restaurant in downtown State College. Faccia Luna is good but a short drive from campus. DP Dough is very good for take out. - How did you get there? What’s the best transportation mean to get to-from the campus?
We drive from Westchester Co NY - What was the campus vibe?
Very friendly students. They are proud to be students at PSU and all wearing the school gear. If you look lost on campus people stop to help you. It truly is the Happy Valley. - What did you think of the dorms?
My daughter’s dorm was fine. Not renovated but still very much okay. Nice view of the stadium. - What are some must-see things in or around campus?
Take in a sporting event at the Bryce Jordan Center if you can. Basketball games are a lot of fun. Get ice cream at the Creamery. - How were the school facilities?
Very nice, everything I have seen. - Did you like it more or less than you thought you would? Why?
MORE!! Was surprised that a state school would have such a gorgeous and well kept campus. Buildings are pretty uniform architecturally. Makes for a very pretty picture. - Did anything surprise you?
How much I like it. My daughter loved her time there.
