[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Penn State, University Park(main campus) will not be an option. And, as a poster mentioned, all branch campuses are 2 years minimum. Some campuses provide 4 year degrees depending on the major.

2 year branch campuses can be really great experience.  Much more of a stepping stone.  They seem to attract good faculty and small class sizes and the students bond much more.  My sister did this and the connections she made with professors far exceeded mine (same degree but at the main college) and her subsequent recommendation letters got her into Ivy law school.

Was your sister a PA instate student? Was she living at home?

I don’t think they’re a good experience for an OOS student who wants to live in dorms. They’re in terrible locations, have tiny student bodies & have few on-campus extracurriculars.

They also charge an arm & leg both instate and OOS. TBH I think they’re a ripoff. Don’t know why PA can’t have guaranteed transfer from actual, cheap two-year community colleges -> state flagship like literally every other state has. Also, Ivy League law schools care about your GPA & LSAT, and that’s about it. [/quote]
