One of the best parts about Penn State’s campus is its beautiful landscape. Now that it’s spring, it’s the perfect time to take a blanket and some snacks out with some friends or roommates and have a picnic.

Old Main is a landmark building of Penn State’s University Park campus and has beautiful grounds surrounding it for students to enjoy. 

The weather is warming up and Old Main’s lawn is waiting. If lounging out on the grass has ever seemed appealing, this is your sign. It’s the season for going outside and soaking up some sun.
