Is Penn State worth the OOS tuition?

<p>I see this topic hasnt been posted in for several years. I am taking my son to see PSU on Friday (2/22/13). He (for now, anyway) is considering Industrial Engineering with a minor in business. IE’s are the lowest paid engineers coming out of college, but with a minor in business, we are hoping that if the gets his foot in the door as an IE, he can work his way up the corporate ladder, to the more financially lucrative jobs. We are NYS residents, and he was accepted to the University of Buffalo and got a $2500/yr scholarship. It is a HUGE price difference between PSU and UB, but if PSU opens more doors right out of school, then I may try and find the financial resources to get him there. Any feedback would be appreciated.</p>
