[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you attend a commonwealth campus, students from nearby states (including DMV area) get about 6k off annual tuition.  And annual tuition/room/board is relatively lower at satellite campuses, for OOS students it’s about $35k (including the 6k break).  At University Park there’s no 6k discount for OOS students. Also, tuition is higher at the main campus than at satellites.  We pay @55k annual tuition for DS at University Park (taking 18hrs each semester)..[/quote]

I’m from PA. An OOS student living on-campus would be utterly miserable at a satellite campus. [/quote]

Can you explain why?  Mine got into Behrend campus (it’s where the major is).  Got some merit, but is debating whether it is worth it to go there (it looks small on a map).[/quote]

Another PA person. Basically the good students go to State College Campus. The kids who go to satellite are either not good students (and hoping to transfer asap)  or older students going back to school and commuting from where they live. It is not a real college experience.

SO my student has a 4.0+ gpa, from a competitive HS, blah blah blah.  When they applied, the UP campus was not listed as an option.  Their final two years of their major would be at Behrend regardless, so they chose Behrend for all four years since UP was not an option on the app.  They are not at all a bad student.[/quote]
