Juniata College

I was lucky to have my major costs covered by the exchange student. As Huntingdon is out of the way and there is no public transport except for the train getting about was difficult. The train is expensive and takes a long time. Flying is big time expensive as State College is so small. If I was here for anylonger I might have looked at buying a car as gas is so cheap. Shop around for a phone card, many have cheap minute rates but high connection fees.

There was a good language program but I didnt take any classes

I travelled over Xmas on the train with an East Coast Rail pass. Amtrack trains are often late but you meet some interesting people, see the best of the country and cover a huge distance. The best views were seen from the train from Montreal- NYC.

Ummmm Huntingdon is a very small place, infact its tiny. There are a few bars, a coffee shop and resturants. For a decent night out you have to drive to State College (45 mins on a long, dangerously windy road). Basically no social life except for J's Tavern's Wing night:)

Most rooms were shared and not very large. There is some great off campus housing but it is exclusively reserved for home students. A shame as most internationals are used to being in private accomodation and it is limiting to go back to having to share. On the good side it means you have things like a TV, Fridge and microwave as all US students come with these.
