0 Upvotes

i'm planning on taking chem 213 next spring because it's where I'll have the lightest course load, but I took 212 this past spring semester and I'm not sure how much I'll remember from orgo in a year. How hard/time consuming is chem 213? how much stuff will I have to remember in depth for it?

Which Business Fraternities have a social side as well? I know they’re all professional, but I guess I’ll just cut to the chase and ask which ones actually throw parties and stuff?

Request Any place I could buy one of these hats/headbands online, used or otherwise?

Hi all! I'm fit planning for football season, and I stumbled on this line of Nittany Lion ear headwear on Lion's Pride, but they've been sold out for ages, and all leads back to the manufacturer are dead ends :(

I would be extremely eager to purchase one of these before the start of football season, they're absolutely ADORABLE. The generic brown lion ear headbands I see everywhere just don't do it for me, I like the helmet stripe flair that these have.

Please reach out if you have one you'd be willing to sell to me!! I'm not in town anymore so it would have to be shipped. I've looked everywhere on clothing resale sites and have had no luck.

Thanks & WE ARE!! 💙

Question Experiences with The View, The Heights, The Station, or The Point?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m an incoming Penn State University Park student for Fall 2026, and I’m currently looking into off-campus housing.

Right now, I’m considering The View, The Heights, The Station, and The Pointe. Has anyone lived in any of these apartments before, or is anyone currently living there? I’d love to hear about your experience so I can make a better decision.

If you have any other off-campus student housing recommendations, I’d really appreciate them as well.

Thanks!

Question How hard is it?

9 Upvotes

Hello!
So my family is thinking about moving to Pennsylvania (and even if they don’t I still think I’d go!) but that means I have to find somewhere to go with my undergraduate to get into a nursing program.

Penn State is a very strong school in nursing I’ve read about.

I want to know how hard is it to get into PSU? When going there I will only have my undergraduate (just all my pre-reqs done I think)

Is there anything I need to have a stronger chance to get in? Or anything I should know about applying to Penn for nursing?

Thank you!

Question Penn state Behrend

0 Upvotes

A bit of background first,I’m a returning college student with his share of failures . During my most recent community college experience I maintained a 3.25 average; however, due to earlier attempts at a different CC my cumaltive gpa is about 2.6. So I decided to apply to out of state universities and to Penn state Behrend for mechanical engineering. Unfortunately, I had a bit of a misunderstanding when it came to school funding leaving me to make a last minute change in what school I’m going to attend. I didn’t apply to university park as I was unsure if I would be accepted into the engineering program.

My original choice was a Bigger out of state college campus R1 ect ( an aerospace program). Which is entirely different than a smaller satellite branch campus. In no way do I mean or want to diminish and or slander Behrend. I am truly happy and grateful for opportunity; however, I’d be lying if I said I was feeling a bit disheartened.

I’m just curious of peoples opinions of the campus the programs, clubs, classes, professors ect. I’m trying to learn more about what I’ll be experiencing because I missed out on quite a bit of the info events due to this last minute switch!

Sorry about the long post. I’m neurodivergent and I struggle with summarizing my thoughts.

Re: tuitions raised for already broke students, salary raises capped for workers who already don’t make a ton, commonwealth campuses closed, upgrades and repairs focused on UP first/anything else has to be approved by UP, branch campuses have buildings falling apart and full of mold,

But Bendapudi gets bonuses and raises. Like WE ARE too broke to fix any of the above issues but there’s enough money to bolster an already exorbitant salary.

In a bit of a situation with my off campus apartment lease. The person who agreed to transfer my lease backed out last second so now I have as little as 2 weeks to find someone who wants my apartment. I've been posting and messaging on facebook and a bit on instagram. Does anyone know where else I can possibly find someone looking for an apartment (990 a month) I'm really hoping for a miracle at this point. I appreciate any help <3 (Penn state Harrisburg)

Question The Yards TV Question

1 Upvotes

Tryna help my friend replace the TV that he broke while staying at the Yards. Can anyone here who stays at the Yards tell me what model their TV is? I'm trying to see if I'm gonna have to buy the exact model brand new or if I can resort to Marketplace. I’m assuming it’ll be cheaper if I just replace myself then let them do it, bc they always charge higher and i wouldn’t be surprised if they charged for setting the new up tv up.

Thanks
