Most of the state schools are pretty far from cities, but they have lots of activities. My daughter loved Mansfield, but that would be a huge cultural shock coming from Philly since it’s in the middle of nowhere. Kutztown is a big party school but has good academics.

Marywood and Kings are Catholic but very welcoming to nonCatholics. DeSales sent our kid a letter on how to convert even before she applied… The privates have better financial aid than the states, so apply to a couple and see if they are affordable.
