Student Life
Many of our faculty are active in clubs and organizations so it's a good way to meet your peers and professors outside the classroom.
If outdoor recreation is your thing, you will find some of the best biking, hiking, fishing, and canoeing only a short drive from campus.
Graduate Student Association
The Graduate Student Association is a great resource that can help you find answers to questions you might have. The GSA also offers a “Guide to Graduate Life” to help acclimate new students to the Penn State community.
