The Heart of Happy Valley

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter.

If you know anything about Penn State, you know that football is kind of a big deal around here. Ask the players, the alumni or the students – Beaver Stadium is where it all goes down. The crazy crowds, the screaming fans, oh, and did we mention the #1 STUDENT SECTION IN THE COUNTRY? This place holds the hearts of every Penn Stater that’s ever entered its gates and will always be so much more than a football stadium. It’s the heart of the valley.
