WHY PENN STATE
"I chose Penn State because I loved it from day one. The coaches, the campus, the town, and the energy I feel when I'm here is so surreal. Happy Valley is so competitive whether you're looking at the sports programs, or the academics. I can't wait to experience all the things that Penn State has to offer, especially the ice cream!"
