Lemont is a charming bedroom community filled with historic homes just a few miles from State College. With lots of events and the iconic Mount Nittany Trailhead, it is a charming small town worth the visit.

There is no shortage of cozy, local coffee shops for Happy Valley to enjoy. Whether you’re strolling the streets of downtown, dropping in on your way to work or sharing a leisurely Saturday morning with a friend, you’ll have plenty of cafes to choose from!

College visits give you the opportunity to explore the campus that you might be calling home for the next four years. Making the most of your visit and exploring both the campus and town will help you make the right decision. At Penn State, there is so much to explore both on campus and in the community. As a soon-to-be graduate of Penn State, I compiled a list of the things I think you should do during your Penn State college visit.
