my mom and my dad and my cousin and now my brother all are going to or went to Pennstate. I have been here many many many many times.(I do not plan on going there myself.......in fact when i can, i plan on getting as far away from Pennsylvania as a can :)) State College is a neat tricky little college city. It's very fun place, but honestly the campus realy aint nothing special boring buildings that make me sick to my stomach.
