Judging from the description of your undergrad, I'm (almost) certain I know where you are studying. If I'm right then I'm in your department and I went through the US application process successfully this year. I'd be happy to talk to you about my experiences and see if I can offer any advice if you want? PM me if you would like to talk and we can arrange a time. Either way, good luck! It's a different application process to the UK one but it's worth persevering.

I'm visiting next week just to have a look round the campus so if I find out anything interesting I'll let you guys know

Thanks guys. I'm visiting in a couple of weeks just to have a look round but if I forget to ask anything or think of anything after my trip I'll definitely take you up on that offer, A_Murphy. Can't wait but a huge move for me - do you guys have any ideas about how to go about finding accommodation? That for me is the really daunting bit of the move!

Hi all, I'm starting a PhD in Political Science at Penn State in the Fall but can't attend the new students visiting weekend (I'm an international student) - anyone else going to Penn State and want to get in touch before we all make our way there in August?
