If I could give a review of less than one star I would do so.
The recent fiasco involving the football program is just the tip of the iceberg as far as I am concerned with this institution. My experience after four years of having my son on campus is that negligence, insensitivity and apathy permeates this school on many different levels.
I sent my son to Penn State with great expectations after touring the campus and seeing all the facilities. He was an honors student with A's in AP courses taken at Pittsburgh, bright, dependable and excited for a new experience.
That same person after four years (and no degree), at Penn State is confused, frustrated, lacks confidence and has no idea where to go from here.
The guidance is non-existent, the staff either is clueless or simply does not care about the students attending this school. Once the tuition check goes through the kids are forgotten until the next bill hits the internet.
I know it is a large school, and there are a lot of kids in that kind of environment. However, my son could have been dead for all the interest they showed in regard to attendance, guidance and career planning.
If you value your children, if your expectation is that the school you send them to will be at least a little responsible for their welfare and their education while they attend school, then Penn State is not the place. Don't waste your money or your children's time, look elsewhere.
