点评:Founded in 1855 as the Pennsylvania Farmers High School, it was then known as the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania in 1862, renamed the Pennsylvania State College in 1874 and finally in 1953 named Pennsylvania State University.
The campus is huge and a map from the visitors' center was a big help. We walked the grounds in November and can only image what it would look like in the spring and summer. There is an arboretum on campus, though the campus itself looks like one. There is the iconic (c.1930) Old Main, the centerpiece of campus, huge Beaver stadium, the Jordan Center, attractive architecture and landscaping, history, as well as the wonderful Berkey Creamery. In 1892 Penn State became the 1st University to offer courses in ice cream production management. They also have a very nice, but expensive bookstore.
On campus there is also the classic (c.1931) Nittany Lion Inn that was unfortunately closed due to Covid? It looks like renovations are ongoing and hopefully it will return to its status as the finest lodging in State College. Around 46,000 fortunate students call Penn State home.
翻译:学校始建于 1855 年,当时名为宾夕法尼亚农民高中,1862 年更名为宾夕法尼亚农学院,1874 年更名为宾夕法尼亚州立学院,最终于 1953 年更名为宾夕法尼亚州立大学。
校园很大,游客中心的地图很有帮助。我们十一月份在这片土地上散步,只能想象春天和夏天的样子。校园内有一个植物园,尽管校园本身看起来就像一个植物园。这里有标志性的(约 1930 年)老主城区、校园的中心、巨大的海狸体育场、乔丹中心、迷人的建筑和景观、历史以及美妙的伯基乳品厂。 1892 年,宾夕法尼亚州立大学成为第一所提供冰淇淋生产管理课程的大学。他们还有一家非常漂亮但昂贵的书店。
校园内还有经典的(c.1931)尼塔尼狮子旅馆(Nittany Lion Inn),不幸的是由于新冠肺炎而关闭了?看起来翻修工程正在进行中,希望它将恢复到州立学院最好的住宿状态。大约 46,000 名幸运的学生以宾夕法尼亚州立大学为家。
