[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a PSU alumni. The majority of my college friends came from New York City, Philly, Washington DC area and Pittsburgh. None came from small towns. These posts seem like they are coming from Maryland alumni. I grew up in Maryland and Virginia. That said, I chose Penn State and I did not find it "cliquey" at all. Yes, the university is in a small town. Instead of driving 15 minutes home on the weekend to do laundry (UMD) mostly all the students stayed on campus on the weekends and participated in student life. In additon, when you attended parties/bars in State College almost all of the people there were fellow students which adds to the college experience too. As another poster mentioned, 99 percent of the students have a wonderful time.[/quote] +1 I honestly think the very negative opinion of PSU on DCUM must be in part because of rivalry with UMD. There are a ton of PSU alums in this area and I've never met one with a negative opinion of the school. The alums I'm friends with were people who majored in things like engineering or nutrition, and were not part of the greek system. It's a big school and it has hundreds of "scenes," unlike a small liberal arts school with only a few hundred kids per class year (in which there are cliques -- DH went to a school like that and I'd avoid those smaller schools if you're worried, OP).[/quote]
