[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Pennsylvanian with tons of friends who went to Penn State I just can't see paying out of state tuition for it. It's just not that great a school, it's in the middle of nowhere and the drinking is seriously out of control (listen to the This American Life episodes about it). It's not alone in that respect, but still.[/quote]

As a former Pennsylvanian I can totally see it.  Penn State is a state flagship with many top programs and has a much better reputation in the big job centers (NYC, Boston, Philly) than Virginia Tech.  Nobody ever even heard of Va Tech before the massacre.[/quote]

That's nuts.  I'm from the Philadelphia area originally and I knew more people from my HS going to VA Tech for engineering than to PSU for engineering.  PSU did NOT have a great reputation aside from being a HUGE party school.  I occasionally help in recruiting in my national construction company and our East Coast offices pull way more candidates from VA Tech than PSU (specifically for civil/env engr).  [/quote]
