Rachel Fowkes had no intention of attending any college other than Penn State. In fact, it was the only college that she applied to. "It's all I knew and all I ever wanted, it was my dream school." Her acceptance made her the fifth person in her family to attend not only Penn State, but Penn State Altoona.
Hundreds of students take advantage of experiential learning opportunities each year through Penn State. One such program is a trip to Nicaragua through Outreach 360.
