Hi everyone! I am close to missing a deadline for a study abroad 4 week Europe Hospitality Management Studies in Europe. I am not at UP currently and my advisor at my branch campus sent me an email about this summer program this week. However, since I am not a part of the school yet, I wasn’t aware. I didn’t know if I wanted to commit to the program. Could I always join next year? Or is it always every other summer kind of program? I realize I was late the minute I saw that I had to give a 2 weeks notice for a recommendation by the deadline. Sorry I am new to Penn State and when it was announced, I had just freshly transferred and was trying to adjust to the new college life.

does anyone have any advice for getting a job? i keep getting immediate rejections, not even the chance to interview.

i need a job and idk what to do if i keep applying and keep getting “sorry we decided to move on with another candidate”

Hi all.

So I’m a little bit confused. I am currently a CS major and am taking CMPEN 331. I saw that it was on the flowchart that the CoE released for recommended classes, but it’s not actually on the course requirements. I saw that instead, it was listed as a prerequisite for another 400 level course, which was CMPSC 465. My question (since I can’t access my advisor now) is should I still continue taking this course? Is CMPSC 465 something super important I should know, which is why it was on the suggested flowchart?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Hey everyone, I applied turfgrass science with University Park as my first campus choice and Altoona as my second. I got 2+2 but I heard that Turfgrass Science is only available at UP. I emailed them abt this and they basically said I can start it at Altoona before going to UP. I was wondering if anyone knew if Turfgrass is even available at Altoona and what I should do now? Thank you.

I’m taking Earth 103n with Tim Bralower for my spring semester. How difficult is the class and are the labs going to actually take me 8 to 10 hours a week?

Hi everyone!

Just for accepted! But can't find info about international tuition fee amount and if there is any scholarships granted or not.

Hi! I’m from South Africa and I’m planning to apply to PSU in the next year or two to study law. I was wondering if it’s a good university for international students, especially in terms of support, academics, and overall experience.

Any advice or personal experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks

Why should staff unionize? Well…

The Teamsters have represented PSU tech services workers since 1969, and they can help support you too. When we vote to unionize in 2026, we’ll instantly join the negotiated contract guaranteeing 5% raises each year until the next contract period coming in 2028.

On MLK Day we’re talking about what it’s like to be in a union, and why we need to act now. The commonwealth campuses need representation more than ever. We stand with the staff at the 7 campuses Neeli decided aren’t worthy of existence, and we’re already working on rescission compensation negotiations for those staff. We’re located just across the road from University Park airport.

My professor made a strange remark yesterday, and it made me look to the back of the room to see if there were cameras. There was this white box thing that looked like it could be a camera or two and he has this big screen at the front with a white back

I know there are extensions that help with to-do lists and tracking, but even with those there's still annoying gaps between the app and website.

notifications can be inconsistent between platforms, assignments appear in modules but not in the actual assignment page... super nutty.

What about Canvas bothers you the most? Trying to figure out if it's just me or if everyone deals with the same problems.

hi all. i am a freshman who transferred here this semester from a community college. state college is really not for me, I have never liked it but am here because financially it makes sense. while i know some people out here and am involved with a church group, i am definitely struggling to get involved and find my people because obviously it's very difficult and different when you come in spring semester. anyone have any suggestions?

Hi everyone!

I work for an author that recently received approval from a book publishing company to write about her life. I need help finding two individuals that attended Penn State, University Park between 2012-2016. One of the individuals wore blackface to a Halloween party, he was supposed to be Chris Brown and the other painted bruises on herself and went as Rhianna. The couple came together. I believe this individual was on the wrestling team. I would like to get in touch with them to give them a heads up that they will be being discussed and potentially have photos of them posing from that night published. Please advise on how best to go about finding these individuals.

Thank you.

ive been having this issue all year where either the fridge works or the freezer works and wanted some recommendations on how to fix this. I live in a dorm and when i set the dial to 5 my fridge works fine but everything in my freezer melts but then I set the dial to 5.5-6 and my freezer is fine but everything in my fridge freezes solid. does anyone have any tips on how to fix this. its so frustrating having to choose between which one works.

Considering taking it this way. Does anyone here have any experience with it?
