Honestly,let's just accept the fact that UPenn is a more prestigious school, has more money, provides a much more fulfilling college experience for its students. But unfortunately, there's actually no point debating which school is a better choice because the type of people who are accepted to Penn State probably didn't get into Upenn, and the type of ppl who can get into Upenn will be debating between other Ivys/tier one schools. People rarely deliberate between going to PSU or UPenn because the two schools attract very different types of people. I'm from PA, and I am very sick of the defensiveness of PSU people who think they go to a good school but doesn't have any data/facts/statistics to back themselves up.

oficerpat: I went to PSU undergrad (University Park) and now go to UPenn for graduate school. I like both for different reasons, even if UPenn is superior academically. You sound like a pompous ass, and appear to be much more conceited than everyone I have come across at this Ivy League institution. In conclusion, shut the **** up you raging idiot.

lol why are you guys still arguing, no one cares where you went to college.

sux for you. you should try being smarter.

thank you #227

227, right on

........

what's the big deal? you still got into college, and a pretty good one at that. douche

PSU was my third choice, and ended up going there (after UConn and UMass rejected me), and honestly, I'm glad I went there. I can understand why the OP is bummed about it, but seriously, you got into a GOOD university, and that's how I saw it. And by the beginning of my freshman year, I was psyched. So I hope you're not embarrassed that you got into Penn State. And yes, while I was up there, PENNSYLVANIANS asked me if I went to the "campus in Philly." You'd think they know their own schools, right? I just shrugged it off and said "yes"

I go to PSU!!!! BEST SCHOOL EVER!!!
