[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was a school I had no opinion on until we visited. I think it’s really one you need to see to understand. We left pleasantly surprised by how cheerful the kids seemed, how well-kept the campus was and our DS decided to apply. [/quote]

I suppose I will chime in. I am a PSU engineering graduate. Yes, I went there due to in-state tuition. On graduating, I wasn't saddled with a ton of debt. Main campus is nice and pretty walkable. The surrounding town is nice as well although the townies have a love/hate relationship with the university. I didn't own a car during my time there. I just didn't need one. I am not particularly sporty. I mostly hung around with my other engineering and comp sci friends doing the things nerds do, like programming hijinks. If you go there, you are a number. Your student ID number is your new identity. If you need personal attention, it's not going to be the experience for you.

Once you get outside the town, PA is pretty much the same as it ever was since the coal and timber industries left. That's PA in the "T".[/quote]
