<p>I live in State College. I guess Penn State can be what you make it. But many of my daughter’s friends who have gone there have huge classes taught by foreign TA’s who are very hard to understand. It’s also a BIG PARTY school, with lots of pressure to drink and get drunk. Have you heard of “daylongs”? That’s where the the goal is to drink from morning to night.
So I would say, that although there are studious students, there are a lot of students that are only here to party!!</p>
<p>Penn State was named the # 1 school that companies recruit at. They certainly see the worth of the students.</p>
<p>I’m not here to argue about which school is best with generalizations. I am here to say that a student can be successful at many schools.</p>
<p>$200,000 is a huge sum of money. That’s after taxes.</p>
