There were a few alumni at my house last night. People in their fifties lamenting “their loss” to UCLA. I’m not sure why, but I was secretly so pleased.

You'll never meet a more insufferable alumni network than the PSU network. Holy hell they are all annoying. All of them.

Why does PSU need an alumni network in the first place? It’s not like it’s gonna make any difference.

We are everywhere, you can’t stop us!

So true. Like roaches.

I’d spend $400K on Bucknell to avoid indoctrinating my kids into that whole PSU thing

Any list that doesn’t have a kid’s school on it or isn’t an Ivy is always suspect by DCUM. It’s ironic that DC is so educated, yet so close minded. Ivy and some NE liberal arts schools are great, but great schools exist elsewhere too.

this is so completely true, and I rarely post on this site - some schools just nurture and develop obnoxious alumni - Duke, Cornell, Williams, and Penn State are 4 very different types of schools, but I find their alumni insufferable and tend to throw out resumes from these schools

For me it’s Duke, Princeton, and Dartmouth grads who are just awful.
