      Pros

      Pleasant work environment and facilities.

      Cons

      The charge for parking in most garages and lots on campus is $37 per month. If the spouse of a Penn State employee decides to take graduate-level classes, BEWARE. The tax on these courses comes directly out of the employee's paycheck with no warning.

      Pros

      it is a nice and convenient town. outlets and hershery park are my favorite. a lot running trails.

      The administration is very uptight and reluctant to change. a lot of unnecessary procedures and ball-kicking. i hate it.
