<p>I am an OOS student from NY that is going to attend Atloona in the Fall, and to be honest he has worried me a bit as well. I have yet to visit, although I didnt think that the area would be THAT bad. Now I just feel like the place is extremely empty old and that Ill just be unhappy there…I feel like its worth it though. Penn State is such an amazing school, I have no idea why this person hates it to the fullest degree…the school doesnt decide what you expierence, you do. Im sure that there is a waaayyy greater amount of people that love the place than there is who hate it.</p>
