[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's fine if that's where your kid gets in but I don't get the push for OOS kids from this area to go to PSU. I mean often the out of state push comes from parents who are PSU alums and OBSESSED with the school in ways that are really odd at age 40+, 50+ etc. I

t's fine for a state school with the same problems as many other state schools - switch majors too many times and you may not get your required classes done in time to graduate. It's a huge place - if you don't carve our your own social scene and also get to know profs etc. you'll be a number (assuming you need law school, med school etc recs). You are very much on your own - one pre med advisor has thousands of students, they aren't sitting with you and carving out your path to med school. No different than say a Rutgers or Maryland - in fact Rutgers and MD are a bit smaller class sizes.[/quote]

This describes life. No one will hold your hand. Not a big deal. The real world is the same way.
