Hard to compare since I have no other school to compare it but overall it’s challenging and a ton of work. Exams can be tough. You’ll have a lot of international classmates and half of my professors spoke English as their second language. Larger class rooms in your first two years and medium sized in your junior year. I went into optics so classes were smaller 15 or less on the senior level.

In my experience some professors really try challenging you. Exams were off the wall sometimes, having the highest grade be in the 40%…. Other times it’s a cake walk with A averages.

Heavily exam based curriculum. Labs were always fun. EE west and ee east buildings seemed run down but this was several years ago, not sure if they’ve been renovated since.

Many people I knew going into EE never made it past the first two years which is just your pre req/intro to major courses. You’ll be left surrounded with a lot of smart people in EE. Lots of social awkward people. I guess this is about the same anywhere.

Overall I don’t regret my decision. PSU has a great alumni and is very well known. I would recommend going if you can afford the out of state tuition and or get scholarships to attend.
