[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PA state regional colleges are kind of a disaster.  Shippensburg, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, ESU...they are all 40% smaller vs. around 2010 when they peaked.

I would just do a ton of due diligence to see if the regional school is growing...or at least hasn't seen enrollment fall off a cliff...if it punches above it's weight in job placement or some niche, etc.[/quote]
If you aren’t from PA, I don’t think you get how much of a disaster the state schools are. Yes, WestChester is good. Yes, iUP, Slippery Rock, Clarion are good for teaching degrees. But schools like East Stroudsburg, California? No - not good school.

For those who don’t know, there is a California University of Pennsylvania.

I grew up in an economically depressed Western PA town. Even back in the 90s, we called Edinboro 13th grade and knew there were better options but at least it wasn’t California.

Fast forward to today - the system has financial problems. Many of the schools had to consolidate. Some of them are called Penn West now.[/quote]
