What the tour guide won't show me

<p>I'm going up to visit State over Spring Break, but I wanted to ask some current students/people who live around State College if there's some places I should go visit while I'm there that I might not get shown to me. I'll only be there for a day, and hopefully I'll get to see a class in session or something, but is there somewhere off the beaten path that I should take some time to visit, either on campus or around it?</p>

<p>Do you have any idea what you will major in? There may be labs, for example, that would not be on a general tour but might be of interest to you. You might also be able to meet with a faculty member in a particular program or sit in on a class.</p>

<p>Im hoping meteorology or some sort of IT major</p>

<p>Check out the IT building and the new Life Sciences building. Spend some time in the HUB to get a feeling for what Penn Staters are like. Walk down College Ave, grab a coffee at Irvings and people watch, check out the crazy amount of Penn State gear at the Student Book Store and the Family Clothesline. Spend a moment at the Joe Paterno statue near Beaver Stadium and take a look at the Bryce Jordan Center. Get a photo at the Lion. Have ice cream at the Creamery.</p>
