Penn State soccer hosts pick-up game with international students
It isn't easy for international students to come to college and get acclimated to their new American way of life. Penn State's men's soccer team is trying to make the transition smoother.
On Tuesday, the Nittany Lions welcomed over 70 international students to the pitch to play pick-up soccer to help them meet new people and get aquainted in Happy Valley.

Indiana loved the idea:
.@PennStateMSOC Very cool idea. Nice to have a familiar thing for the incoming students in an unfamiliar place.
