1) A college very much like four extra grades of high school located in central Pennsylvania.
2) The largest congregation of cattle and red necks east of the Mississippi.
3) The only school on Earth where "Do you want fries with that?" is a major.
At first I thought my son went to the state penn, but then I became really embarassed when I learned he'd actually gone to Penn State.

The crap school you go to if the oh-so elite University of Pennsylvania rejects you. UPenn kids do drink and have lives and obviously have the better campus, since it's in the city with good restaurants and shops. Penn State has nothing on UPenn, largely because you can get in with a B-minus average and 1600/2400 SAT score while UPenn wants A students with 2100+ and multiple advanced placement courses. This is why if you confuse a UPenn kid with a Penn State kid, the UPenn kid will want to punch you in the face. If you want to have to list "loser" as your occupation for the rest of your life, go here.
UPenn kid: Yes! Going to Wharton of UPenn has helped me land a great job at alumni Donald Trump's firm! Half a mill starting salary, baby!
Penn State kid: Uhhhh. Dooo doo. Do you want fries with that? How about extra mayonnaise on your Filet O' Fish sammich?

To break a girls heart in the most humorous of fashions. such as making the girl love you then faking death or maybe even vanishing from existence. No matter how hot they are.

John: "Naaahh man, im gonna Joe Penn that ho"

Good school, shitty people.
Classes are somewhat of a challenge and most are at least interesting, many quite useful. The professors know their shit. Competent administration (otherwise, eveything would fall apart at a place this big). A bit pricey, but it's every bit as good as a high-end private school in most respects. Free busses.
Most of the students here are either obnoxious or annoying, so unless you're either of those, don't plan on having any friends your first semester. Most of the girls are superficial cunts, so unless you like Britney Spears clones, don't plan on having a girlfriend the first semester either. Then again, there are plenty of ugly tennis-skirt-wearing girls here... There are some decent parties but not the best (due to the obnoxious people and the horrible music); although I will say that for some reason all the food you get around here is awesome, including creamery ice cream. It may be $2.15 per cone, but dammit, it's worth it. The two bars worth mentioning are the Crowbar, where they have renowned metal shows (I'm gonna see the Haunted monday!), and the Brewery, a hole in the wall with awesome drink specials and supports local musicians trying to get a start. As far as I know, the other 25,000 bars suck ass. (Yeah, at first it's neat to be in a town with "nightlife", but then you realize it's just pathetic and annoying, especially when you're trying to get through the traffic downtown.) Mike's music has an awesome selection of good music, not mallcore stuff. Parking situation is horrendus. Prepare to walk and ride the (free) bus a lot, at least around campus anyway.
Yeah, there's football games here. Basically, it turns the entire town into a traffic jam. Yay. Incedently, I walk directly past Joe Paterno's house every day and I've seen him twice in two years. So no, he doesn't walk around campus all the time.
Interesting architecture. Check out the library, Old Main, and Sparks, which has cool gargoyles and sculptures, and the names of famous people carved right into the facáde of the building. Also there's the IST building, which is built right over a four lane highway.
If you want to come for the education, great. If you are looking for friendly people, look elsewhere, although good times can still be had with a little searching.

A highly popular term in the Pennsylvania area used to decribe a person being convinced to drink the most alcohol they have ever drank.
Usually used when the "convincer" is talking about the "convincee".
Usually a Penn Stater is used to turn a novice drinker into a pro.
"My roommate got Penn Stated last night! He had about 10 Peppermint Pattie shots, and 15 beers."
"Happy 21st Birthday! You're gettin' Penn Stated tonight!!"
(Waking up terribly hungover) "Jeez, I musta got Penn Stated hardcore last night.......who's this girl?"
