I think this place is truly fun! It depends on what you make our of it, at first you think this campus is in the middle of nowhere but when you actually meet people Altoona gets better and better. There is always something to do just make the best out of it and be optimistic.

The whole campus is beautiful. There's a lot of diversity, but it's also extremely easy to maneuver around.

I really love the campus. The pond is beautiful at night, you always see older people and kids walking their dogs because the campus is basically treated like a park. Everybody loves the accessibility to University Park which is only a short drive away. The only thing that I don't like is that most of the students are pretty much the same.
