Anyone have any ideas why Penn State jumped in the rankings this year? I not a fan or hater (S scandal aside) but PSU never seemed like at #37 school to me.  Any thoughts/insights?  [/quote]

applied science/engineering powerhouse and recruiting darling for 'middle class/upper middle class' companies. i.e. big 4 accounting, cpg companies, etc. WSJ ran a bunch of articles from a couple of years ago with recruiters loving psu.

I think PSU could break in the top 30 if it was 60-75% the size and say in mainline philly suburbs.

the location really sucks (its just terrible..rural but not picturesque) and it's really overcrowded...QoL blows.

on that USNWR michigan is way underrated. [/quote]
