1. You have to weave in and out of the crowd
With an obnoxiously large-sized campus, you're bound to be stuck behind groups of people who are walking too slow. Or worse, there's a couple who are holding hands while walking and you can't go around them. No matter who it is, don't count on getting to class anytime soon!
2. You almost get run over
Whether
3. You almost run over others
Forget about trying to drive through campus, especially at night. Pedestrians will sprint in front of your car while you're going 40 mph with no shame. Keep your eyes peeled for
4. You drain your wallet on "necessary" items
You can always count on getting robbed by PSU, especially when it comes to school supplies. You bet you'll need 2 textbooks for each class, although one is "recommended", not "required", even though its information will be on the exam. I guess that means they're both required, right..?
5. You're trying not to pass out on your way to class
Even if you're not asthmatic, you will be by the end of the semester. Get your inhalers ready since you'll have to walk across campus for your next class. You're drenched in sweat and trying to catch your breath, but whoops! Your class is on the 3rd floor. At least you'll be able to skip leg day today.
6. Crowded Buses
If you're lucky enough to catch the bus at a decent time, don't count on a comfortable ride, as you'll inevitably be shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of strangers. It's also great when you're breathing in everyone's morning breath and B.O. as you sip your morning coffee. Try to keep things positive when the bus driver tells everyone to "squish together more" even though you already have the person in front of you's hair in your mouth. Ah, yes, I'm so glad I paid $70 for a bus pass.
7. Nowhere to sit
Forget
8. Not much to do on weekends for introverts
Not a party person? Not into Greek life? Not old enough to sit at the bar? That sucks, I guess it's another Netflix night for you!
All jokes aside, the education here is awesome and there are tons of opportunities to advance your career. Despite this list of inconveniences, Penn State is, in fact, a great school with a beautiful (but excessively large) campus.
