I went to Penn State Main for 5.5 years. And if you get into the main campus engineering program you can pretty much guarantee 5 or 6 years there. Everyone above has summed it up. I would not trade those years for anything in the world, but it can be very distracting and difficult to get your work done. Especially since most of your friends will not be in engineering and will not understand that you actually do have work to do every night and sometimes weekends.

On the other hand, being in that environment truly showed me what I wanted to do with my life. I spent 2.5 years in the engineering program while working as a fabricator in a performance shop. In the end I graduated with a degree in graphic design as I realized that I was not satisfied with engineering. I know own my own design firm and I am as happy as can be.

Go State.
