Penn State is in the middle of nowhere.

UConn is really in the middle of nowhere.

If this does not appeal to you, consider the University of Maryland at College Park. Same big-time-sports flagship-state-U atmosphere, but you can go to Washington on the Metro any time you want.

Also, if you’re from NY or NJ, which I suspect you are if you are considering Penn State and UConn (rather than your own state schools, which tend to generate little enthusiasm), you should know that Maryland has an abundance of out of staters from NY and NJ. You would feel right at home.
