[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As parents in the DC area - we should hope both Penn State and VA Tech thrive and prosper. The two schools are comparable but if cost is not an issue I would want Penn State for my kid due to the following: #1 - State Flagship University - Penn State is the public flagship university in a large state while VA Tech is the #3 public university in Virginia. That is a big benefit to Penn State's reputation and they will continue to get a good number of the top PA students which also over time burnishes the school's reputation and alumni network. #2 - Alumni Network - Penn State has a larger and stronger alumni network in the Northeast and Mid Atlantic then VA Tech and also around the country to some extent. [b]Now if you know you want to end up in DC Area or Southeast then VA Tech's network may be a little better so regional preference is a factor[/b].[/quote] Yes, the Tech alumni network in DC and the surrounding area is huge.
