Penn State undeniably has the most passionate students. We love our school, football team, THON, and all of the other amazing traditions we have. The idea that all of the students here agree on is that they go to the best school in the country. Here are a few simple reasons why this claim is one hundred percent true:

1. Football

Whether we win or lose, our football games and tailgating are the best of the best. We are the number one student section in the country, and we live up to that title.

2. THON

Penn State is the birth place of the Dance Marathon for cancer. THON is an amazing experience that you can't get anywhere else, the students come together and spend all year preparing for it.

3. Downtown

Anything you need you can get downtown. If you need a restaurant to eat at, a bar, game day/ going out clothes, groceries, and just about anything you can think of we have it right here. Having an accessible downtown is something that makes PSU special, and whenever you have the urge to get off campus, going downtown is the perfect option.

4. School Spirit

Like I stated earlier, Penn State has some of the most passionate students alive. You can feel the spirit of the school even with just stepping onto campus, especially on game days, and Fridays before game day.

5. Food

Penn State's Berkey Creamery is the actual best ice cream place that exists. We also have other famous foods such as stickies and pokey sticks. Aside from our traditional foods, we have pretty much every type of food you can imagine downtown.

6. Campus

Despite the large size of this school, our campus is completely walkable. Not only is it walkable, but it's a beautiful well-kept campus which is impressive for a State University. Our buildings are very different from each other, so seeing all the buildings is interesting. Everything is well-lit making the campus more safe for walking at night. We also have a great bussing system for students for those rainy or cold days.

7. Networking

Penn State has one of the best alumni networks that exists currently. This is a huge advantage for our students when they enter into the work force.

10. Academics

Penn State is a top academic school, with a challenging curriculum that helps students grow and learn. Every program we have here is at the top of its league, but we also pride ourselves on our most elite colleges, such as our Business and Engineering schools.
