State College is the home of Penn State’s University Park campus, one of the largest universities in the country, and the town and the university are deeply intertwined. Penn State’s research enterprise in engineering, materials science, agriculture and the sciences draws faculty, visiting researchers, startups and companies, and the university calendar brings a steady flow of prospective students, parents and alumni. Downtown, College Avenue and Allen Street are lined with restaurants, bars and shops serving both students and visitors.
State College is famously hard to reach, sitting in the Nittany Valley about three hours by car from Pittsburgh and longer from Philadelphia, with limited airline service. Flying private into State College Regional Airport, a few miles north of campus, makes it easy to visit for meetings, campus tours or graduation, and turns football weekends at Beaver Stadium into realistic day trips without long drives through the mountains. Beyond the campus, visitors enjoy the Penn State Berkey Creamery, nearby state parks, fly fishing on Spring Creek and Penns Creek, and wineries in the surrounding valleys.

Things to do in State College
When to go. Fall is State College at its busiest, when football weekends fill hotels and restaurants throughout the region and the surrounding ridges turn color. The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts takes over downtown in July. Spring brings commencement, when lodging books up early, and good fishing on the limestone streams. Winters are cold with regular snow, and the area quiets down when classes are out.
