Penn State (University Park), Ohio State (Columbus), or UMASS Amherst?

Looking for some comparative perspective on these schools. I am an OOS (NJ) interested in engineering (undecided). I am trying to weigh cost and value of education, and anything else that might tip the scales.

I dont know much about UMASS, but if youre picking between PSU and OSU, you’d might as well pick PSU just because of distance. Honestly they’re very similar schools culturally, academically, etc. Only difference is PSU is in a small town and OSU is in a big city. Theres lots of New Jersey kids at PSU too that may or may not be a good thing depending on how you see it.
