[quote=Anonymous]As a Pennsylvania native and alum, I can say PPP has it exactly right. There are are smart people at Penn State, but it is fundamentally an unserious place with a party atmosphere there. The smart kids tend to be there because they couldn't afford better or underachieved in high school. The enthusiasm among alumni is largely from folks who have not been exposed to much else. It is not the sort of place that kids with truly good options -- eg, Maryland, let alone Michigan or Wisconsin or one of the good SLACs in P or Ohio -- should want to attend, at least for the right reasons, except for engineering or the like. A bit of a sad place at some level, in a town that does not have a whole lot to offer and is not particularly pleasant, even in a quaint sort of way. [/quote]
