<p>So what are some great and cheap places to eat off campus? Or at least food that isn’t from one of the dining Halls.</p>
<p>I like this website: [State</a> College, PA - Dining, Restaurants, Menu, Menus](<a href=“http://www.statecollege.com/dining/]State”>Restaurants in State College, PA | StateCollege.com Dining Guide)</p>
<p>It really depends upon what you consider cheap and edible food. I could tell you to go to Canyon to get $1 pizza, but personally I think it sucks. The dining hall food here is underrated on here in my opinion, but that’s just me.</p>
<p>And if you’re even downtown, take a walk down Calder Way. They have a bunch of real good small food shops and restaurants.</p>
<p>I was accepted into Eberly but I want to study infectious diseases which is in the College of Agriculture. Do I have to change colleges?</p>
<p>Well if it’s not offered in Eberly wouldn’t you have to switch? I guess I’m not really sure what you’re asking here. </p>
<p>I do know that it is really easy to switch your major once you’re hear, just talk to your advisor (and maybe an advisor from the CoA) about it and they’ll help you out. Lots of people decide to switch colleges for whatever reason, so it’s not uncommon.</p>
<p>If you want to be in the Immunology and infectious diseases major which is offered by the College of Ag, then yes you will need to switch colleges. However, majors in Eberly will cover material in infectious diseases. There are several Biology and Biochemistry courses that focus on it. So you could major in either Biology or B M B in eberly.</p>
<p>Pick your major without regard to what college it is in (regardless of what college you have been admitted to). Switching from a science major to an ag college major is a formality.</p>
<p>psubmb: Haven’t you been asked a near-identical question?</p>
<p>I was asked something very very similar but it was via PM I think… posted in response to respectful1 because I have some knowledge of that specific situation (a friend switching from my major, BMB in Eberly, to IID after a couple years).</p>
<p>I am an international student currently in US. I took my FTCAP test already and my advising day was scheduled on June 10. As I know, there is also an advising day for international students on Aug 15, the last day of the international orientation.</p>
<p>The problem is, now I have two choices, June 10 or Aug 15. After three days of searching and emailing, I heard that the more popular classes were basically full in late May. Also, people’s adding and droping classes in the summer also leads to a more complicated situation. In this case, is it still worth to go on June 10?? If I do, I will be all alone in June…kinda scary…</p>
<p>Ps. Anyway I have to be on campus at Aug 10 because of the international students’ orientation.</p>
<p>Normally I’d advise to get FTCAP advising over with as soon as possible, but if you’re going to be there in August anyways, you might as well do it then.</p>
<p>The cons of this will be (as you said) a possibly slightly awkward schedule because of some being filled up.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be afraid to be “all alone in June” because everyone else there is too. As long as you have a decent-enough grasp on the English language (which it seems you do), you’ll be fine and will be able to be friendly with other students. And having my parents there with me wasn’t too big of an advantage. You’re going to have to live on your own away from them pretty soon anyways.</p>
<p>Basically, I’d just look at the pros (potential for a better schedule, experience with independence, etc.) and the cons (extra trip, possible loneliness factor, etc.) and see which one is better for you. I wouldn’t want to be the one that makes the decision for you.</p>

As you said, the schedule might be slightly awkward. But how awkward will that be? I still kinda don’t get what classes will typically be full in late May.</p>
<p>I don’t actually mind to go alone but I am not sure if it is worth to do it as those so-called “more popular classes” are full before my advising day in June.</p>
<p>I know different majors will have a differnt situation but I don’t know how awful will the cons be, because it is also only the courses for first semester.</p>
<p>Could you explain it a little better cuz seems you are familiar with psu?!!!</p>
<p>Thx so much!!!:)</p>
<p>One of the more common qualms associated with scheduling classes later in the summer has to do with times. Generally when you chhose classes late, you’ll only be able to schedule early morning classes. This shouln’t be too big of issue if your a morning person or just don’t care what time your class is.</p>
<p>The more notable concern is sacrificing the classes you want to take for the classes you have to take (to graduate with a degree). Everyone has to take a specific number of General Education courses and not all of them are particularly interesting. Scheduling courses late might leave you with the more boring of the Gen Eds and I’d hate to be taking a course that I really don’t want to take.</p>
<p>So if early boring courses aren’t gonna be a problem for you then don’t go. But honestly form what I heard even June 10 is considered late when picking schedules.</p>
<p>My FTCAP day was late May, and I had no problem getting classes I wanted. I wouldn’t base everything off of “something you heard.” And even if you miss a class first semester, you’ll just take it second semester and be all caught up by the end of freshman year. No biggie.</p>
<p>Hope that helps/was a tad more specific</p>

If so, do I still have those important classes for my entrance to Business major??Such as English 15,Math 110,Economic 102,etc…(based on the official recommended academic calendar of Smeal)</p>
<p>If I do still have those required classes, I don’t really mind the rest. Whats important is advising day in Aug won’t influence my entrance to my major too much.</p>

Thank you very much for your time and help!!!
I will make my decision myself!!!But I am pretty stressed about this!!!</p>
<p>Well as of today english 15 still has over 150 seats available. Even more seats are available for your Math 110 course. Econ 102 has more seats available than I care to count. At this point you’re fine as far as scheduling those classes.</p>
<p>Just to be safe, you should check the nmber of available seats in each class as it gets closer to your advising day. If you notice that the classes are getting full you should take the earlier day.</p>
<p>This website allows you to see all the courses and the number of seats left.</p>

<p>How hard is it pledging a fraternity and keeping up with school work, still getting good grades…?</p>
<p>I have no personal experience with this, but from friends I know it can be a mixed bag. It seems like it really depends on the person: you just have to focus and put the important things into the forefront, as academics are always more important than a fraternity.</p>
<p>How are trying to get jobs at University Park? Im from California…and well my parents are paying for me to go…so it’s a little expensive… I have a few scholarships but nothing to seriously reduce the cost so I plan on working as much as possible to reduce my loan</p>
<p>There are a crazy amount of shops and stores to seek employment at. I’d suggest walking around downtown once you’re here, and trying to find somewhere that you’d enjoy working at. You can also work at the dining commons; though this doesn’t sound too luxurious (what job is?) they do a great job of working around your academic schedule.</p>
