>> There's just a sensation that you get from being at Penn State.

>> The best part about Penn State

is just being a part of the family.

>> We are --

>> There's never a dull moment ever.

>> There's just a vibe.

Everybody's so energetic.

>> It's like Penn State everywhere

and I think that's so cool.

>> I chose the University Park

because there's no place I would rather be.

[ Music ]

>> It's such a nice atmosphere

here because it is the

main campus.

It's so nice.

Like look at outside today.

Old Main Lawn

and it's beautiful right now.

>> My favorite part about a Penn Stater

is how great it's looked upon for the education aspect.

Being labeled as a Penn Stater is fantastic.

[ Music ]

>> The teachers definitely are

great and I feel

like that's the most important part about being in school.

>> We may have some bigger classrooms

and yeah,

I have lectures where there's up to 400 people

but if you go

to your professor's office hours,

they're going

to be willing to work with you

with whatever you need.

>> It's important for students

to be comfortable in coming

and talking to faculty,

research people,

et cetera across the campus.

That's where a lot of learning goes on.

And it's also the most rewarding for us.

>> Yeah exactly.

>> So you begin to have somewhat

of a mentor that one on one time with professor is huge.

[ Music ]

>> Well most of the freshmen live in East Residence halls.

So it's kind of nice.

Everybody, all the freshmen

are together.

You'll meet your roommate.

You'll be friends with everyone on your floor

which is really neat.

>> I love it.

I have an awesome floor whom I'm

very, very close with.

>> You'll see kids

out playing sand volleyball on the courts

or they'll be playing Frisbee

or throwing a football around just in the quads

which is really cool just

to kind of get to know the other kids in your dorm

and just be a Penn State student.

[ Music ]

>> There's a lot of options for eating.

There's the dining commons at each residence hall.

It's kind of cool

because you can have an app on your phone

that tells you the menus that the dining services are providing each day.

Then there's also different little cafes and then each residence hall.

There's kind of a like little market that you can go to.

So you can kind of choose where you want to go

and make your selection according to that.

[ Music ]

>> There's clubs for basically anything you're interested in.

I mean there's a Harry Potter Appreciation Club

which I think is the coolest thing in the world.

[ Music ]

>> Well I've been involved with horses since I was 5.

I've been riding since then

and I just want to continue it into college.

And the Equestrian [inaudible]

really, it's a really fun outlet

to just get away

from all the academics

and all the stress.

[ Music ]

>> The goal of the Lunar Lion Team is

to put Penn State on the moon,

plain and simple.

This is definitely a stepping stone to broaden our educational

and Penn State's research capabilities in the space industry.

[ Music ]

>> Being on a team is really

just coming in

and you automatically have 15 sisters caring on their tradition

that is Penn State volleyball.

And knowing that just being a part of that is a really incredible feeling.

>> Anything you wanted to do here, you can do it.

It's really a great place to be.

[ Music ]

>> Being a Penn State the alumni network is so good

and I feel

like getting a job will be easy

but also the fact that there's

so much school pride here.

And it's just awesome.

You always see people walking around with their Penn State sweatshirts and everything.

And I think that's so cool.

[ Music ]

>> I think it's impacted everything about my life.

I think just coming here,

making new friends,

it's really a great step in the independent direction.

I felt myself grow up in a way

but then at the same time,

really maintain the core values

of who I am and apply that to who I want to be.

[ Music ]

>> Penn State has shaped my entire life.

I guess my favorite part about being a Penn Stater is

how great it's looked upon

for the education aspect

and I think that's what's going

to take me the longest way after my college career.

[ Music ]

>> We are --

>> Penn State.

>> We are Penn State.
