This is a truly great school. It has a large number of departments and most are highly respected throughout the world. I now live in Korea and am a professor there. My Penn State degree is very respected. I majored in geochemistry and found that department an excellent atmosphere for both undergraduate students and graduate students. Also took courses in computer science and digital electronics as well as physics and chemistry. The wonderful thing about the university is the wealth of excellent professors in the departments. You may major in one field but to acquire a well rounded education as this school is prepared to teach you and round out your education. I highly recommend this school for both undergraduate and graduate education.

Also the surrounding environment is excellent. This does not feel like a city university. The whole region is centered around this school. There are many companies that were founded by graduates of the school and many opportunities for jobs after your graduation. Also I enjoy caving and hiking and there are many state parks nearby and caves in the karst valleys for which Pennsylvania is famous for. The nearest commercial cave is Penn s Cave located about 20minutes from the university. It is well worth the visit as it is one of the few caves you visit in a boat! All in all Penn State University could not be better places to provide a well rounded education. I highly recommend it!
