Review of Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Altoona
from Johnstown, PA
Do you feel you’re learning a lot?
PSUA has opened my eyes to so many new positions and opportunities!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I LOVE PSUA. It's small, beautiful, peaceful, and everyone is always really glad to help you.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
SO many great trips, clubs, sports, the gym is free, computer lab is free with your Student Activity Fee. You really get your money's worth here! I didn't at my first school, so I know first hand if I am getting ripped or not. Not here at PSUA!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
It's only 45 minutes from University Park- no big deal at all. You can always transfer there your junior year as well like I am. Altoona is really great and the faculty are funny, nice, and super helpful. Be prepared to work: just because it's a smaller campus doesn't mean it's easier! I would suggest getting involved in clubs because you will make a lot of new friends that way :)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
PSUA is great for everyone who loves the Nittany Lions! Everyone has a place here even if we are a smaller school.
