<p>penn state...its got a decent business school ( if ur interested) and an excellent sorry life. cant comment on the rest cuz ive never heard of them. go with penn state</p>
<p>Penn State looks a little bit the "odd man out" because it's so large. It's setting is also pretty isolated & rural. If things like size & locale of the college matter to you, that will help you with coming up with the best pick.
Also total costs and fin. aid will probably help you decide.
Overall, you can get a pretty good education at all of them.</p>
<p>TCNJ has come up a lot and although not as well known as Penn State (mostly because of sports) may provide a better academic experience. Penn State does have a rep for being pretty fun. I would say Penn State, TCNJ, Villanova should be your top three.</p>
<p>Catholic U has a nice, supportive atmosphere. It's great if you want to be in Washington, DC, for the opportunities. There is a metro stop on campus. Programs such as engineering and premed are more supportive and less cut-throat than elsewhere. The campus is nice, lots of trees and lawn. I've worked with people who attended Loyola. The computer program is well thought of. The people that I knew liked the place. Some were in the grad program (MS-Computer) though. I think that the undergrad program caters to Catholic high school grads plus other Catholic kids. Catholic U, on the other hand, does have some level of diversity. Catholic U students can take courses at American and GW.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, and if you don't mind what is your GPA?
Penn State is one of my top schools I want to get into, and I'm just curious as to what you had to get in.</p>
<p>Ohh, okay, nice! Congrats on getting in.
Penn State is a great school, their campus is beautiful. My mom went there and she absolutely loved it.
The party/drinking scene is kind of big there though.</p>
<p>I lived for 10 years in the neighborhood next to LC in Balto., and knew several faculty members, who never spoke well of their students. It was my impression that it attracted Catholic high school graduates from NY, NJ and MD who were not accepted at Villanova, GTown, ND or other Catholic universities and who loved to drink and party. If this is what you are after, you will fit right in!</p>
<p>I lived for 10 years in the neighborhood next to LC in Balto., and knew several faculty members, who described their students as "challenging." It was my impression that it attracted Catholic high school graduates from NY, NJ and MD who selected LC as a safety school, and who were very social and fun loving. If this is what you are after, you will fit right in!</p>
<p>Marist is a nice smaller school in NY off the Hudson River, near Hyde Park. More a rural feel than suburban. Not much happening up in that neck of the woods. It was once religiously affliated, but I don't think it is any longer.
Strikes me as a school for hard working, solid B-type students. Seems to have a nice school spirit and sports opportunities.</p>
<p>I believe its business programs are good. Used to have strong work opportunities when IBM was big; don't know how great they are now.</p>
