Worst of Penn State

Oh....State College.

Well, State College, Pennsylvania may be one of the weirdest cities in the country in terms of weather. When it's nice and sunny out, it's a beautiful sight to see everyone walking around in shorts and flip flops. But there have been many freak storms that have passed through the valley, like last October, when it started to snow for homecoming, and even a week in February when it was 70 degrees outside. When the weather sucks, it sucks, and when it's nice....it's beautiful.

Parking at Psu

to commute to school it is $90/yr to park in the commuter lots. Freshmen living in the dorms aren't allowed to have cars on campus. Off campus parking can be as much as $300/month or more during the semester. you don't need a car for campus or in town but if you want to shop at more diverse stores, you need a car or have to use the bus system. The burrow makes much of its money on ticketing and fines. And if you park where you aren't supposed to downtown, you are sure to get towed by one of the 6 or so towing companies. If you get towed on the wkend, you're screwed.. about $300 or more to get your car outta the tow yard.

Drinking

There is a lot of drinking at Penn State. It's possible to find people who don't drink or party in that way, but far more often than not people go out to drink and party.
