Why Penn State?
“After visiting several schools and seeing their programs, Penn State stood out to me as far superior in many aspects. Having my mother as an alumna of Penn State, I was already familiar with the beautiful campus and high standard of academics. Penn State’s unparalleled characteristics made the decision of where to go easy.”
