Not an FML, PSU is a very good school.

Be excited! It's not called Happy Valley for no reason! People are being way too harsh on Penn State...it's a great school with everything you could possibly want. I couldn't picture myself anywhere else. WE ARE!

Thats alright. My roommate freshman year at Penn State thought she was attending an Ivy League, U Penn. Now THAT is an FML

To 181 I would just like to say that your comment about state business schools is a huge generalization and I feel that the comment was unwarranted. I was unable to view the post you were responding to, and, though I do this in fear of sounding trite, two wrongs do not make a right. Ivies are not the only good schools. Take, for example, the University of Virginia which has the McIntire School of Commerce. McIntire is the top ranked undergraduate business program in the country (source http://bwnt.businessweek.com/interactive_reports/undergrad_bschool_2009/). U.Va. also has the Dardan School of Business, which is consistently ranked in the top 15 best business schools in the world. At the moment it is ranked 14th, above schools such as Carnegie Mellon and Georgetown (source http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/grad/mba/search) Penn State is a great school with an amazing undergraduate experience. My mother attended Penn State and she has gone far in life. She was the first member of her family to go to college and because of her education at Penn State she was able to travel all over the world to places like Singapore, Germany, Greece, Korea, France, Turkey, and others.

I thought this would be the other way around... most people I've talked to make Penn St sound better than U Penn

What's with all the community college bashing? I graduated from high school with a 4.0, went to community for two years, then to a four year university after. Students who go to community colleges aren't the ones who did drugs throughout high school. I paid my own way, and now have a well paying job, and no college loans to pay off. Sorry, just had to stick up for the community college students. Anyway, congrats on getting in to PSU. Once you graduate, it isn't the school behind your degree that will get you the job, it's you. I've seen plenty of people who look awesome on paper, but after getting to know them in an interview, they're really not an ideal candidate for the job.

you're dumb this isn't an FML Penn State is a nice school

"shocked"? that sucks. lol everyone from my school goes to Penn State. literally EVERYONE. i'm pretty sure like 60% of last year's graduating class went there.

come off that bullshit #38, philly kicks the ass of wherever you grew up.

Penn State is still a good school. Do well there, and you can go to UPenn for grad school, saving you $150,000.
