Apologies if this is a dumb question but here goes: none of the people I know seem particularly interested in playing, which leaves me in a somewhat awkward position because I am interested, and was thinking of just playing on my own
Tangentially are there folks here who might be interested in playing? Fair warning: I’m not particularly good— but at the very least earnest in my efforts to learn
All my friends start next week and I feel like it’s unfair haha. 😭
Title. Can a student of accepted to both, be in both when they start as a freshman undergrad?
Anyone take math 110 or spanish 3 online to transfer the credit for it? I plan on taking both next summer and want to get these credits out of the way in the easiest way possible.
Question is basicaly the title, how come this is so? Is it cuz the accept rate im seeing isnt that of engineering specifcaly? If that is so do you know the engineering accept rate.

Hi fellow Nittany Lions!
I attended grad school at Penn State and graduated 2.5 years ago. I would like to get more involved as an alum. I live abroad but would still like to be engaged with Penn State. I know there is a great Alumni Association. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get involved as an alum and serve the Penn State community?
we need a new admissions megathread because jesus christ it’s so bad
One of the short answer questions makes me list my awards and honors, which I already wrote in the Common App, so do they also not look at my activities and additional information section there? I already wrote all they needed to know on the Common App, so if they will read them, can I just write that I have no additional info?
Hey yall so I got accepted into the York campus, berhend college for environmental science but I’ve been looking around and I’ve been hearing some pretty questionable things about the York campus. Could I switch? And how would I go about switching the campus?
Anxiously waiting for news!
Did anyone get a decision from biomedical engineering? i applied EA at University Park campus.
I'm looking into programs at Pennstate and was wondering if the certificates and 2 year programs are worth taking on their own or if their more something that you take to compliment bachelor degrees?
besides the rlly high stats
I applied for supply chain on October 30th. I've seen some people get accepted but never for my major. I know they come out until december 25 though
I applied to Penn state on October 27th as an accounting major, when can i expect my decisions?
Is there a way I can get to Allentown from state college? Is uber the only option?
I’m seeing a lot of people getting acceptances the past few days. I applied to Smeal and haven’t heard yet. Any business majors heard back?
Genuinely tweaking right now, because I was relying on my fall grant to cover rent, so I'm late for November and December is literally a few days away. Every time I've tried to reach out to the OSA, I got the 'we don't have an estimated timeline'. I'm really worried and annoyed. Does anyone have any updates? 😥
Greetings! I applied to the online campus’s Doctor of Education program for the fall semester 2025. The deadline isn’t until February 15, but I have all my materials submitted (including my references). To anyone who has applied for grad education degrees before, is there any chance I’ll get a decision not long after the date that it closes in February, or do you think it doesn’t really matter? Moreover, if you have applied for a fall start, I’d appreciate knowing around when you received your decision.
Thanks!
I'm coming up for the game and wondering where the easiest, closest-to-South Dorms, cheapest overnight weekday parking is. Garage? College Ave? Is there any free neighborhood parking that's close? Or is it all permit-only parking? Thanks for the help!
Has anyone heard from Biochemistry yet??
Just received my first college acceptance to Penn State yesterday, but not UP. Is spending two years at my second-choice campus worth it or is it a waste of time?
