DC in at Smeal, summer start. Non-big 3 private, 3.89W, TO.

It’s not about football, it’s about the stadium bathrooms!

The bathrooms!

You know what’s not ancient history? The underwhelming performance of the football team's offense this season. My son was thrilled to be recently admitted, but after the loss to Notre Dame, he’s starting to have second thoughts.

Not all of us are as brilliant as you. My DD will be over the moon if she gets in. I’m glad she has a positive and grateful attitude for the opportunities in her life.

Good luck to your daughter! Penn State's slow roll of decisions is definitely the strangest and most frustrating process that we have encountered so far. My son received his decision in mid December.

First two years on some random satellite campus then 2 on main. I don't know why anyone would consider this esp for penn state

Ignoring your condescending comment, many people opt for 2+2 because it is substantially cheaper than university park.

Oh sorry I didn't realize it was cheaper. Then there is an advantage.

The branch campuses don't represent a good value for out of state residents. It would be significantly cheaper for a VA resident to attend community college and then transfer to a VA college than to do 2+2 OOS. My son was admitted to Penn State UP this week for engineering but we would have not considered 2+2 OOS.
