#38, what, in dive bars? I'm sorry, we'll get bottle service in New York as future lawyers, consultants, bankers, and doctors, while you "Nittany Lions" climb up middle management in some mediocre company. I don't think any Penn kids would ever meet with Penn State kids in life except when we interact with our subordinates or get a prescription at the local pharmacy. Philly might not be the best city, but it's sure as hell much better than your sorry joke of a town. You guys have your "fun", but we have great parties every weekend. Yes, we do study more, but there's a reason why. Enjoy your country bumpkin wife, 200k house, 6 mediocre kids and your PTA meetings while we run the US government, investment banks, hedge funds, white-shoe law firms, and nation's top hospitals.

Oh wow. This thread is hilarious. I go to neither Penn State nor UPenn, but I do agree that this is sort of an FML. How many people did you have to correct? In any case, don't let these people influence you; the Ivy League isn't all it's cracked up to be (I'm currently a junior at an Ivy). There will be smart people at both UPenn and Penn State... I'm just worried about some Penn Staters who knock on "pompous, man scarf-wearing dickheads whose idea of a good time is hanging out in a cafe and talking about Plato." Steer clear of these fratboy meatheads and you'll definitely go far in life.

I'd just like to say for all of you bragging about Wharton, my dad ******* taught there, and he actually encouraged me NOT to go to UPenn because he hated the school so much. He left Wharton after a year and came to work at PSU. So even those who can get into UPenn don't want to go there. Sorry your school sucks WE ARE!

Just run with it!

i got accepted too! university park?

So much unwarranted pride from Penn State. Stop compensating. To the OP: Just run with it, it'll be fun!

My relatives still think my brother and I go to Boston College. We go to Boston University. It's annoying, but not really FML-worthy. (It stings a little since I got waitlisted from BC, but...) #42: Probably not a great time to be bragging about running hedge funds. Or the government.

I wouldn't worry too much about the status of your uni too much. I got into a college in England thats not that well known even though its actually pretty good and i get all sorts of silly comments from people who don't know what they're talking about. Its a pretty annoying thing to happen but don't worry about it- you got into university, be proud!

i go to penn state now... trust me. you'll have a much more fulfilling experience here...and it's not just the partying, which is ridiculous to say the least. it's everything you could possibly ask for in a college. upenn is just a name after 4 years.

32, you're a moron. UDel is actually a pretty good school. It's ranked in the top 100 in the US. I almost went to their honors college because my dad's a Prof. and I would've gone for free. But instead I'm at Columbia University. Either way. UD isn't terrible. But your grammar is! "Should of". Hahahaha.
