Computer at Penn State

<p>I have read other threads and they suggest Purdue is very competitive(especially in engineering) whereas Penn State is not that competitive and also graduation rate for Penn State is higher than that of Purdue. Personally I want to go to a college which is not overly competitive but has good academics and I think Penn State will be a better option for me. What do you say?
And also I would like to know about the social scene in engineering. How many people party?,etc.</p>
