I'm sorry to say that EVERY person I have met that went to Penn State is an asshole. My son who will be going to college next year visited there, and he hated it, but he applied there because they have his major(aerospace engineering). Any yes he was accepted, but this is his LAST choice. Maryland is his first, they are hooked up with NASA.
I don't know you, so I do not mean you are an asshole. I just HATE Penn State. My son said all they could talk about was football on the tour. He decided not to play in college, track instead(shot put). He would not be able to play football there anyway, but has been recruited at other colleges, it just takes up too much time, and then they put you in the dummy courses. He's much too smart for that.
Rensallear Polymer Tech(very small) is his second choice.
