ask me anything: re: psu

I go to PSU, and I can say that the Urban Planning Department is gorgeous, as well as the whole campus. I am actually a science major, so I don’t know about your future goals, but I would recommend PSU for it’s great environment, awesome professors, and just that it is located in one of the more gorgeous areas of town, with so much cultural venues- such as a museum, 3 performance...

jasonmeanz asked: I have an answer! (I'm half black and grew up in Portland) Even though a majority of Portland is white, it is filled with people who like to consider themselves very open, progressive and loving people. Especially people in the inner city. Even if someone was prejudiced towards people of other races, no one would DARE say so. They'd get yelled at for hours. It would be as if the entire...
