Now that you are on campus for a new fall semester, visiting certain places is a must.
There are so many spots you should take advantage of while you are a Penn State student. Below are 12 places, on and off campus, you should make it a point to visit. So, get out there and make this big place feel a little smaller, and more like home -- especially you, freshmen, who have yet to explore.
1. Beaver stadium. Even if you don't have season tickets, you should try to attend at least one game this season. The team is looking very
good, this year. Cheering on the players is a great way to show your
Penn State pride.
2. Old Main. Snap a picture or two at Old Main. The scenery is
beautiful.
3. The Arboretum. Much like Old Main, the Arboretum has beautiful
scenery. Also, spending some time outside is a great way to get some sun or just
hang out with friends.
4. Berkey Creamery. The Creamery has the best ice
cream I have ever had. It's The also a cute on-campus date spot. Prove that chivalry is not dead by using your meal points to take that cute
girl out on a date from your floor. Since it's so close to East, freshmen can
take advantage of its location. However, every Penn State student should grab a
scoop, at least a few times.
5. IM Building. The Intramural Building, better known as the IM
Building, was just renovated. If you have a gym membership, definitely check it
out. Since it's so large, the lines shouldn’t be as long as they are at the White
Building.
6. The HUB. The HUB is still under construction, but there are still good places to grab a bite. Jamba Juice is opening soon in the HUB. Grabbing a smoothie
on a warm day can be very refreshing. Even with all the construction, the HUB
is a great place to hang out, especially in between classes.
7. Lion Shrine. It is essential to take a picture every year at the
Lion Shrine. All freshmen should do it to remember your first few days on campus. It will also be funny to see how young you were
when you look back.
8. Pegula Ice Arena. This will be the second season that the Pegula
Ice Arena is open. Anyone who hasn’t been there should check it out. Hockey
games are very fun, and the arena is beautiful.
9. Dorito Church. Just know the location. It is a great meeting
place when you are heading out to Fratland.
10. Mount Nittany. Climbing Mount Nittany is one thing everyone
should have on their Penn State bucket list. The views are amazing.
11. Palmer Museum of Art. If you are feeling artsy, check out
this museum.
12. McLanahan's. Did you run out of detergent? Did you forget to
bring a toothbrush to school? Are you in need of a Penn State t-shirt?
McLanahan’s is the place to go when you need something and don’t feel like driving to Walmart.
There are many more locations and
activities you should check out, now that you are back on campus or just
starting here. Make the most of your years at
Penn State because this is truly one of the greatest college campuses.
