About

Pennsylvania State University is the ultimate destination if you want to eat, sleep, and breathe big-time school spirit, backed by one of the largest and most powerful alumni networks on the planet. From the electric atmosphere of Beaver Stadium to the massive student-run THON philanthropy, the "We Are" culture creates an intensely loyal, high-energy community. Its also an incredible launchpad for international travel, offering over 300 study abroad programs that seamlessly integrate global experiences into almost any major. However, navigating a student body this massive can make administrative tasks feel like a total corporate maze, and recent multi-million dollar university budget cuts have left many students worried about class sizes and resource constraints. Its a legendary, unforgettable campus experience, but youll definitely want to ask a current student how the massive scale and recent financial shifts are actually impacting daily life in Happy Valley.

Hey Matilda! I'm looking at Advertising too, can you be real with me about what the classes are actually like? Is it creative work or is it more business"y" and dry than I'm expecting?
