<p>I got into Penn State Behrend, the Erie Campus for Undecided. Since applying I want to do engineering now. Can I start engineering right away even though i applied undecided or can i talk to my conselour and get into engineering right away?</p>
<p>You can’t declare a major right away, so there isn’t any real rush. Check the particular areas of ENGR that you are interested in, but most require Calc I, Calc II, Phys and Chem before you can be admitted.</p>
<p>Grcxx3 - guitar and bass, and some piano.</p>
<p>spacemannate - thanks. I’ll ask my son if he knows of any groups/bands that use those.</p>
<p>Sorry this is kind of a late response, I’ve been pretty busy with exams and Spring Break.</p>
<p>Regarding the tickets, apparently it’s a crapshoot as to whether or not you can get them sold.</p>
<p>Greek life at Penn State isn’t as big a deal as it is at other universities I visited, and it definitely doesn’t seem like they run the place here. One thing to keep in mind with sororities though is that they live in residence halls on campus, fyi. I’m not sure what you mean by “giving up anything” though, you’ll be able to make friends either way.</p>
<p>I’m personally not too huge into music, but I do hear a decent amount about it. There are a lot of open-mic events you can go to, and with a campus this large, there’s bound to be people that are in the same mindset as you and want to start up a band or just get together to mess around.</p>
<p>I was wondering how housing is on-campus ? Also, I’m not from Pennsylvania so ill mostly likely like to live on campus for all four years , is this possible ?</p>
<p>PSU only guarantees on campus housing for 1 year. Unless you become member of a special living option on campus and receive guaranteed housing contracts for subsequent years, housing will not be guaranteed. Some years PSU is able to offer housing to all upperclassmen who apply for it. Other years (like this year) some students did not get contracts.</p>
<p>Basically what he said</p>
<p>does anyone know if there are any catholic services offered on sundays on campus or within walking distance off campus?</p>
<p>There is the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center on campus. Hosts weekly services for different denominations on campus. Check out [Student</a> Affairs @ Penn State | Center for Ethics & Religious Affairs](<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.psu.edu/spiritual/]Student”>Center for Spiritual and Ethical Development | Penn State Student Affairs)</p>
<p>There are also a handful of churches downtown that offer Sunday services. I’d look on Google Maps or something to look at the specific one and see which one fits you best.</p>
<p>kprims, There is also a new Catholic Center underway across the street from campus on Park Avenue. I don’t know when they expect to complete it.</p>

<p>Thank you, Grcxx3 and Duke26!</p>
<p>Thank you! im still waiting for decision. cause i submitted my application very late( late Jan.) do i have the chance to be accepted? i feel so nervous now.</p>
<p>There seems to be an inverse relationship between your application date and the chances of getting accepted; basically, the longer you wait, the more you have to impress the admissions people. I don’t know your stats, but unless you have an application that’ll blow them away I wouldn’t hold your breath.</p>
<p>Of course, I’m not in Admissions (and neither is anyone else here as far as I know) so don’t take anyone’s word here as final, just wait for the mail.</p>
<p>I have a question. (I’m sorry if this has already been answered and I didn’t see it somehow.) Everyone keeps talking about entrance to major and how you don’t actually declare a major until your junior year so you basically take general classes at first. I’m majoring in premed and I’ve already found a course outline for all four years at PSU online. The classes listed on there for my first few semesters don’t really seem gen. ed. as they’re all very science oriented as I would expect with premed. Is this because I’m majoring premed which is a bit different than other majors or will I have to take gen. ed. classes in addition to the classes on that course list? </p>
<p>Course list is here, if you’re wondering. <a href=“Http://www.science.psu.edu/premed/Document-Folder/copy2_of_P%20M%20RAP%20-%20May%202010.pdf[/url]”>Http://www.science.psu.edu/premed/Document-Folder/copy2_of_P%20M%20RAP%20-%20May%202010.pdf</a></p>
<p>I’m not too familiar with the pre-med major (maybe ask here (<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/penn-state-university-park/1100845-ask-me-anything-prospective-science-majors-premed-general-questions.html[/url])”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/penn-state-university-park/1100845-ask-me-anything-prospective-science-majors-premed-general-questions.html)</a>), but your thinking seems to be right regarding your major affecting your schedule the first few semesters.</p>
<p>That schedule you posted for pre-med does include some general or core requirements. Where it is noted as GA, GN, GS, GQ, GH–these are gen eds. It looks like for some of the GN (science) and GQ (quantitative-math) requirements, they want you to take specific courses that will fulfill the gen ed requirements as well as major requirements. My son (who’s in Smeal) had to take 8 or 9 entrance to major courses his first 2 years, then apply to a specific business major. These were things like econ, calculus, accounting, etc. My niece is a meteorology major and has to take specific science and math courses her first 2 years. Daughter was an architecture major–they start in their major courses from the first semester.</p>
<p>Thank you both for answering my question, I understand my course list much better now.</p>
