Student Ratings
Raina O'Hare Alumnus - Grad Year 2001
There are tons of clubs - every type imaginable - plenty of things to get involved with for those who are interested. This comes from the sheer size of the university and the diverse student body of more than 30,000. It really does accommodate just about any interest.
Shannon Gillooly Alumnus - Grad Year 2009
The athletics at Penn State are some of the best in the country and school pride could seriously be the best in the world. Greek life is also big at Penn State, but it is certainly not the only form of socialization on campus. There is basically a club or organization for everything and everyone.
