As the college decisions boil down, it’s been very difficult to decide between the two schools. I have long admired Penn State and I used to dream of going there, but recently, I cannot imagine settling down there for four years. I was accepted to Penn State, Temple, and Savannah College of Art & Design (not going there for financial reasons) and I was waitlisted at University of Chicago, Loyola Marymount, and Lafayette. I would definitely go to UChicago or LMU if there was a space opened up for me, but I can’t decide between Temple or PSU.
I plan to major in either International Relations or Business. I love that Temple is right in the middle of Philadelphia because location is very important to me. On the other hand, I have heard that people generally enjoy their experience at PSU better. There seems to be a closer alumni network, study abroad programs, and generally, people say that PSU’s academics are higher than Temple.
Please help! I can’t decide if I’m a red and white girl or someone who should wear blue and white.
