                                                        University Life
    Since 1940 until now university life has been changed over the years. The populations of Penn State international students at that time were few compared to our current time.  Even the numbers of female who were studying science and engineering at that time were few. For example, my partner Fay from Foxdale Village who is 90 years old, when I told her about my major (Environmental Engineering); she was surprised and shocked at the same time, she said that you are girl, and it will be hard for you to study it,  engineering for men only. Also, according to Daily Collegian (Feb. 22, 1955) p. 20, “Old State made few concessions to these first six women (784 males were enrolled that year) who attended the same courses as the men—focusing primarily on agriculture, science and engineering”. In addition, the pictures that I sow in La Vie 1949 to 1959, the majority of them were men  
    However, the university life changed now. A lot of women now are studying science and engineering even me. Also, the populations of Penn State international students are increased overall. Many international students come to Penn State for better education and to improve their English. Women also start to pay attention more to their interests. In concluding, the community now is more open to the women education.
