If you get a fee waiver due to financial circumstances, forget Penn State: they don’t offer need based aid to out of stater and very very meager merit aid. You’re limited to 5,500 for your first year - if you don’t have 41k in a college account and your parents can’t pay that amount “out of pocket”, you will not be able to afford any Penn State campus.
Also, you don’t need to “wait and see how much you get”, you can simply run the NPC (net price calculator). There’s one for each college and because their formula varies depending on college you have to run it on each website.

If you want a smaller campus with strong academics in a small town, look at Dickinson, Muhlenberg, Ohio Wesleyan, Denison, Allegheny, Ursinus, Goucher…
