Today, my step-mother threw a surprise party on my acceptance to college. People kept telling me how delightfully shocked and happy they are for me. "UPenn" was written everywhere, when I really got into Penn State. Everyone thinks I'm going to an Ivy League. FML

At least you weren't the kid who got into UPenn and then had everyone hold him a Penn State party.

#50- So what's more fulfilling? Here at Penn, we can start our own clubs with plenty of funding. There are hundreds of student organization and club sports abound. We have over 80 languages taught here, and tons of interesting classes taught by world class professors. What could Penn State provide that Penn can't?

penn state > upenn anyway!! congrats! amen to #50. and #37...you're clearly bitter. let me just say that penn staters get just as far as upenn alum because when people see penn state, they recognize. we have people EVERYWHERE. and one day, when we all get jobs over you, you'll wish you had been sitting in beaver stadium and going to frat houses with us. WE ARE PENN STATE!

#52, just fyi, we have those same things...

If your parents can't figure out Upenn and penn state then your already smarter than them good job!

Hey in case you didn't know, Penn State is a "runner-up" to be on the list of "public ivy league schools". Ivy League education at a public school price. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_ivies#The_original_eight_Public_Ivies However, It's still not University of Texas. :)

Penn State is awesome! Plus, it's ranked higher than UPenn in some majors, like engineering. It's a great school, and obviously there's heaps of people who are really proud to go there. I'm graduating this year, and I've never regretted going to school at PSU. Congrats!

Big 10 football has been sucking lately anyway. Ohio State has been blown out at bowl games. Wisconsin disappeared. Penn State got owned by Texas. (come on, undefeated with that schedule? Are you kidding) If not football, what does Penn State have? good frat parties? We ivy leaguers can party it up better than state schools. FYI Animal House is based at Dartmouth University, another ivy league.
