Penn State University

Arrived here about 2 weeks back and I guess I ve had enough experience to understand the american culture here and share it with u guys. Penn State University is one hell of a huge campus. For the Malaysians I would say its almost twice the size of UM or maybe bigger.

The people here are crazy about american football so they built a stadium with the capacity of 110 thousand people.That would be bigger than shah alam stadium. It seems when they have a big game the population in the university campus becomes as big as the population of the biggest city in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Penn State is included in the BIG 10 which means they are top 10 best in US. They even have an indoor stadium used for basketball, ice hockey and other events. There are many open aired fields and they keep the turf better than in Bukit Jalil.

People here are super nice and friendly. They ll go out of their way to help me out. the girls here are Hot nothing like Malaysian girls ;) my university has around 50000 undergraduate students. Imagine adding that with the graduate students and the workers and lecturers here. Penn State has the biggest Alumni in US. 1 out of every 50 Americans is a Penn State graduate.

The place is super clean. Hostels here are like hotels in Malaysia. There is a microwave and a fridge in my room. internet and phone connection is also free in the rooms. The surprising thing is that there are so many indians and chinese here.

The food is delicious but expensive. vegetarian is not a problem here cause there are many vegetarians here in the states. the meal lan is awesome, we ve got like a certain number of points and everytime we go into a dining hall they deduct 3 points but I get to have anythin there and as much as i want. Imagine eating cookies, cakes, cereal, pasta, pizza, ice cream, doughnuts everyday. The variety of drinks also damn cool. capacino, pepsi, lemonade, all kinds of jus. Basically Im havin a great time and will share more when I start classes.

With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My blog has a lot of exclusive content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being stolen? I'd truly appreciate it.
