<p>Yes, you should definitely consider Penn State. I spent a year there and as with most big colleges there is a lot going on so if partying is not your thing there are plenty of other serious students to hand out with. State College is a great place to live. Also, as is common with big state schools no one will hold your hand but if you don’t need that you’ll be fine. From what I hear UPitt might be even a better choice.</p>
<p>I know your aspirations are different but financially this may be your only choice for staying in this country.</p>
