“Which city offers more to do? Which has more restaurants, bars, clubs, movie theaters…etc.?”
Both are small college towns, I think Bloomington is a little bigger. Both are going to be similar in terms of things to do off campus.

Football is big at Penn State, while basketball is huge at Indiana. Again, they are similar in terms of athletics.

Both are big party schools.

They are very similar academically. You are going to have to visit both schools, because in terms of prestige, they are almost identical.

Also, don’t put any weight into the US News ratings, they are extremely subjective.

You might want to apply to Ohio State too. It has all of the things that you seem to be looking for and would given you another option.
