Academics

It can be quite difficult especially in any mathematics courses. The professors are very thorough in their lectures, notes, and MS Power Points. Note everything they say down and you will be fine.

It is a stressful school week most of the time. But it is not overloaded, it all depends on what major you have and how many credits you would like to take.

you are not in high school anymore so the work load is harder. most professors are very understanding as long as your willing to give a little on your end. class structures are very effective, and professors go beyond to help their students!

the classes at penn state altoona are challenging but as long as you stay focused and do your work everyday, you should be fine. the professors are great and are there to help.

the classes are at the same level as any college course, but because the classes are much smaller (typically 20-40 for most classes), you are able to ask your professor questions and really get to know them on a personal level. there is also free tutoring available in the lrc (learning resource center) for any subject/course such as biology or math 140.

as a student, it is next to impossible to get by without doing your work and studying. in most classes, you truly have to work for the grade you want.
