Penn State sucks. Nothing against state schools. But Penn State is horrible. Have you ever been to State College, Pa? The only to do there is get wasted. The campus is huge, and the only thing in that town. Also, Penn States's five million branch campuses make it so if you basically pass high school with like a 2.5 you can get in there. But the kids at all the branches still tell you proudly that they go to PSU. If your dorm is in Altoona, you DON'T go to Penn State. I can at least respect the people at main, even if they are mostly douches. But don't be in denial about those ******* branches. And sure, they do have a good football team, but Joe Pa is way past his prime. Does he even really coach anymore? And basketball? I saw more coverage of the D-II tourney than the NIT.

hey #5 more like you: 0 your mom: -1 life: 1

"dear #113, that video you are parading around us not true of penn state fans. in fact, the one kid who clearly throws the beer at the ohio state fans is a pitt student. get your facts straight." If you actually watch the video, there are clearly more people than "the one guy from pittsburgh" throwing beer cans at the OSU fans. Also...... In 2005, members of OSU's band claimed that PSU students assaulted them with urine-filled balloons. After seeing PSU students act like this...... how could you not believe them? I am not trying to say that OSU fans have never gotten out of line.... we have our fair share of asshats. But we have never tried to assault anyone's band...

Wow and you're complaining?

#170, blow me, how about that? at least that's something penn staters know how to do because we all know upenn kids don't get any. additionally, i said MOST. we do have some idiots who go here but i know a lot of people who are ridiculously smart and could've gone somewhere better. but did not. why don't you come here and learn how to stfu because you'd be jealous as soon as you got here? i'd visit upenn but...oh yeah...i already live in philly and i know it's a piece of shit. also, those stats are from about.com. wowwww i'm so upset. i love when people site dumb stats. and yes, 173, we're the nittany lions! and yeah we've gotten very selective (to university park) in hte last few years because more students have been accepted than can be handled. my class (2011) was one of the most in recent history. and, what? what's that? penn state is the most applied to school in the country? oh yeah, that is right. dear upenn, be jealous. love, penn state

193, though penn staters were also harassing the ohio state fans, it was determined that it was mostly the work of a few pitt students. i mean, we are proud and we do crazy stuff, but that was not the video to cite. it raised a whole big thing up here until the frat and pitt kids were blamed. it does not represent the entire student body. additionally, ohio state's band is lame. and i've never heard of anything like that so i don't believe that. just as you have your fair share of asshats, so do we. most of us are respectful outside the stadium to individuals, but once you get inside, you're fair game. and since the beav is one of the most intimidating places to play in, you better expect it.

190, the nit was on espn you piece of crap. and how dare you speak badly of joepa. HOW DARE YOU! he is a legend and more of a man than you will ever be. and penn state does not suck. obviously there is more to do than get wasted. we also watch football...ha. we have an entire university with anything you could ever need (well except our own huge hospital, but we have that at hershey, a few hours away... but obv we have hospitals here too, we just dont own them). and we all know the branch campuses suck. stop telling us things we already say all the time.

I go to Penn State there is nothing wrong with the school. To those who have said it is hard to get into it actually is. Its a great school you'll love it!

@ 171 Actually, first year acceptance to University Park (main campus) is about 17%, which is very selective(8,000 freshman got into UP last year out of 48,000 applications). Also, since you're so into stats: Fulbright Scholars: Penn State ranks 1st nationally National Science Foundation Student Fellowships: Penn State ranks 1st in Big Ten Student-run Philanthropy: Penn State ranks 1st 2009 Dance Marathon raised $7.49 million for children with cancer Graduates Living in United States: Penn State ranks 1st I'm not saying that UPenn isn't a good school, but Penn State is an awesome school as well, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Okay, people on here really need to stop bashing each other. It's not necessary. UPenn is a great school and people have worked their butts off to get in there and it will (most likely) pay off after graduation. But the same is true of PSU students, especially if they are main campus. Penn State accepts A average students with good GPAs. In most cases, students also need that extra boost of activities that they did during high school to also be accepted. PSU isn't one of the most expensive state schools for no reason. People who go to Penn State have amazing opportunities to succeed in life and they have the resources to get there too. Penn State also isn't easy once you've been accepted. Unless you're freakishly smart, you will have to work your butt off to maintain good grades. You will pull all nighters, you will spend your Saturdays locked away in your room/library, but if you manage your time well you can also take a part in everything else that Penn State has to offer. You can have fun at the various sports events (the football games really are as amazing as everyone says, and volleyball/wrestling matches are free so take advantage of that), participate in THON which is an event that has personally changed my life, or if frat parties are your thing you can party it up with the best. I'm not saying that Penn State is "the best school out there". I love it and I can't imagine being anywhere else. UPenn is an amazing school too, though, with amazing opportunities. This arguement between the two is childish. For the person who actually made this post: go to Penn State, get involved with something that you're passionate for, study hard but play harder, and make the most of your college experience. For the glory!
