<p>Penn State as you probably know is a big football school, Pitt we felt wasn’t just about football or basketball - there were lots of different sport teams both professional and Pitt teams as well as the city of Pittsburgh. PA State is in a beautiful, rural location. The student populations are large at both schools and there is definitely a lot going on at both. Penn State Alumni have VERY strong ties to Penn State - like no other school I have seen.</p>
