My experience here is amazing! Great atmosphere, environment, and especially the people. Both teachers and students are fun to be around and very resourceful.
Penn State Beaver has a small campus with every building a 5 minute walk! Each time I go outside, I am in awe of the view we have. It is so beautiful. The bistro has a variety of delicious foods. The professors here are so helpful and understanding. They are willing to help when you need it and will explain the problems step by step. There is security always going around the campus to make sure everything is okay and that there are no problems. The amount of of financial aid I received from Penn State Beaver is so generous and I am so thankful to be a part of this program. There is always something to do here to joining clubs, going to parties, participate in sports, or going to the surrounding shopping centers to splurge !!
The campus is small, but there is an abundance of diversity! Coming from a small town in Pennsylvania, I grew up with predominantly caucasian classmates. At Beaver, there is a range of students, including international students! It is a great transitional college. Many students who attend come for 1 or 2 years before going to a bigger campus. This way, you learn how to have independence from your parents or caretakers, but you still have a feel for what college is like. There are places to eat off campus considering the one dining hall is not open at all hours. Living in the dorms can be a challenge. There tends to be a lot of arguments; that can be both entertaining and annoying! The teachers really care about the students. They encourage students to ask questions and have flexible office hours. The athletic programs are coached by some of the greatest in the PSUAC. Overall, it is a great place to meet lifelong friends and step outside your comfort zone.
