The full and proper name for what is commonly refered to as Penn State. Since this is a land grant, farm school spelling Pennsylvania is beyond most students abilities and the shortend Penn is the norm.
Majors vary from Football to drinking. Where that most Footballers take 5 years to grduate in both.
The Football team regularly ranks #1 or #2 in the nation with worst fans. Only Notre Dame or the occasional Texan ever surpass them. The strange dedication to an individual, known as Joe Pa, has been the focus of many studies. I think the Pa is an even shorter spelling of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania State University is where country kids go to get learned.
