The largest campus in the Penn State system, University Park is home to a diverse population of about 46,000 students. Penn State University Park is located in the small city of State College, a quintessential college town with its small eateries and quirky shops that line the street marking the border between downtown and campus. Nestled near the base of Mount Nittany, the surrounding area of central Pennsylvania is known as "Happy Valley."

The Undergraduate Admissions Office offers campus tours and informational sessions to prospective students and their families. We recommend that you contact admissions first and schedule a tour and informational session. If you are interested in a major (or more) in the Liberal Arts, you may also schedule an appointment to meet with one of the advisers in the Undergraduate Studies office. Because many of your questions will be answered at the information session at admissions, we recommend that you schedule your appointment with Undergraduate Studies after your appointment with admissions.
