[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question is not whether Penn State is worth $300K, it it whether it is worth $100K more than your next best option.

Since the next best option is GMU, which (and I may be wrong about this) is not known for a strong campus community or alumni network, I would say maybe Penn State is worth the extra money.

Penn State is known to be very accepting of AP and other credit.  You may see if DC is able to graduate early  (or do a semester focused on research/ and internship without paying tuition) to bring down your costs.[/quote]

Agreed this is a mistitled thread. Besides GMU, what other schools are options? And what are their total costs? Then you can really evaluate the differences. (Which in the PSU vs GMU discussion, is $100k)[/quote]
In this case, the cost difference would be about $150K due to the generous merit aid from GMU.    Penn State is now basically double the cost of GMU with all the merit aid from them.[/quote]

This conversation goes a lot smoother if you can tell us what the major is. [/quote]
