Bachelor of Science in Finance - Batch of 2028

Offered by Pennsylvania State University-University Park

The faculty is knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive.

Tips: Before joining college, students should know how to manage time, be independent, and stay organised. It’s important to stay open to new experiences, build good study habits, and seek help when needed. Embrace learning and personal growth. And they should inquire about food and academic standards. We can participate in various events, which help us in our growth. Student life is vibrant and engaging, filled with diverse activities, clubs, and events.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The faculty create a positive learning environment, encourage student participation, and are always ready to help with doubts. Their dedication greatly enhances the educational experience. I can also add that the faculty was able to clearly teach the topic, and they were good, so I was able to understand it very quickly, and they were also very friendly.
