<p>I wouldn’t worry about Penn State’s scandal. None of that crap pertains to the excellent academics at Penn State. Penn State’s academic reputation is still top-notch and completely unaffected by the scandal. I visited both schools but ultimately chose Pitt mainly because of the smaller student body, the excellent medical center, and the compact campus. You can’t go wrong with either. I would choose based on their marketing programs and the campus environment.</p>
