[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid seems really interested in Penn State and it's never crossed my radar screen.  I'm hearing that it's really popular in the DMV.  Can someone give me the quick version of why it's great?[/quote]

My kid went to a private here in DC where class sizes were small. Kid wanted to go to a big State U.  Accepted to Wisconsin, Michigan, USC, Iowa and Indiana.  Rejected from Texas.  Good GPA and exceptional ACT score.

Nobody gives any love to PSU on DCUM.  I got this from a post on the Ohio State post. Penn State placed, out of 199 ranked U.S. institutions, at No. 8 among public universities nationally and No. 4 among Big Ten institutions. Penn State rose to No. 24 among all U.S. universities, up from No. 26 last year.

My kids love the school and all the rah rah that goes along with sports. I found the campus to be beautiful and State College to be a great college town.

I have nothing but respect for the universities of Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio State. The are absolutely wonderful schools. My kid was accepted to all three. My kids wanted to be closer to home and were not interested in the super cold environments of these schools.

Also, the Penn State University’s alumni association is the cream of the crop. Its numbers alone are impressive—with 673,845 total alumni. It is the largest alumni group in the US.

+1.  Wonderful.   Sounds like a great place to go to school.
