[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]

Summer is a great time to start and ease into a large university environment before the fall.  It is a lot of fun too.  With APs and summer you might be able to graduate early.  If you have a year round apartment as an upperclassman, you can take classes another summer and maybe graduate a year early.  [/quote]
Good point.  DC has at least 3 AP scores they can use.  So that would be like 5 classes with the two classes in the summer, which would equal one semester.  That's like $35K or so.  I guess that offsets the summer start $20K. Thanks for bringing that up.[/quote]
