[quote=Anonymous]Our DC wrapped first year at PSU a couple of weeks ago.  Came from small DC private often mentioned on this site.  First semester was massive adjustment, size of school most importantly, as well as the pre-set friend groups that came in from Phila, NY, NJ.  Second semester found the groove.  Connected with professors, made friends through class (especially those who were in an advanced language track as much smaller courses), joined Greek life, hosted high school friends at PSU and showed them around.  It became home.  It is BIG but becomes small when you find a pod. But a pod that is made of spokes, and not only hubs.  Academically, mathematics, econ, science are tough.  Big lectures, scantron exams. Basically same as college in the 80s/90s. Liberal arts are more intimate, thoughtful. If your child is proactive with advisor by end of freshman year they can design an interesting major that pulls from all PSU disciplines for a pretty unique and targeted degree that engages them.[/quote]
