On August 13, Penn State made the switch to an all-digital signal which drastically improved the channel selection for students living on campus. Students will now have access to 95 HD channels, 120 SD channels, and 50 digital music channels thanks to the conversion.
University Primetime, which I will attempt to legitimize by pointing out its 162,000 Twitter followers, recently ranked Penn State as a school with one of the most attractive student bodies in the country.
Syllabus week, lovingly (or begrudgingly) known as "Sylly Week" by many, is the first taste of college for most freshmen. Starting the semester off right is important for any student, and for the freshmen, it all starts today. Finding the balance between work and play can seem daunting to new students, so we've made a guide to get you off on the right foot.
Penn State is known for it's diversity and that diversity is not exclusive to race, nationality, religion, and otherwise. Oh no, there are hundreds of personality types in and around campus on the daily. They live in your hall, they eat at the same commons as you, and you attend class with them. But it's no secret that some stick out more than others. Here's a run down of a few that you are sure to run into on your first day.
As is tradition, Penn State's student body president delivered new student convocation remarks at the Bryce Jordan Center to more than 8,000 new students.
If you're an incoming freshman reading this, you are about to begin the best four years of your life and are oh so lucky (for the rest of you, have a good syllabus week). The annual Welcome Week 2014 begins today, and Penn State has more than 100 scheduled events for incoming students as your Penn State careers get underway.
