[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we visited Penn State, nearly every kid we saw was wearing Penn State gear and were plastered with smiles.  They also claim to have happy cows that make the best ice cream.

If only it weren't in the middle of nowhere [/quote]

Second Happy Valley!

Even though it’s in the middle of nowhere, it’s an easy 3 hour ride from DMV which has been a saving grace for our family. [/quote]

Third Happy Valley!!!   I went there, met my husband there and all my best friends there and it is truly our “happy place.”   [/quote]

My DD is interested in PSU but worried about it being in the middle of nowhere. I assume there are lots of stuff to do near the campus, no? [/quote]

Happy Valley is awesome.  I wouldn’t want to live there as a single 30-something, but for an undergrad, it is great.

I think the isolation is part of what makes it great.  It is a town that feels full of all your friends and no one not affiliated with the university.  State College Borough and the surrounding municipalities have a total population of about 100k and half are students.  The Borough is only like 40k and most are probably students.  State College has the feel of a small college town with all the resources of a major research university.

CityNerd rated it the best college town in the country.
