I have a ties to both schools- daughter is a senior at PSU and I am a UDel alum. Here are my thoughts as to why PSU wins:</p>
<p>school spirits-they love their school
more selective admissions
Happy Valley is not a myth
Thon-amazing experience
On campus recruiting-my daughter and most of her friends have jobs lined up already (well paying)
strong alumni support for lifelong networking</p>
<p>That being said, my son who is a junior in high school will be applying to UDel. He won’t apply to PSU because he feels it is too big for him. He hopes to get into an honors program and join the marching band. He thinks the Blue band at PSU would be too hard to make and his grades are not competitive enough for PSU honors.</p>
<p>Looks like exercise science program at PSU is highly regarded as well:
