I went to NYU for grad school, and I have many associates that went to the top universities in this country. Penn State is just as good as any of those. In some ways it's even better because the experience can be whatever you want to have. If you want to be the best in your chosen career path, or if you want to have an amazingly fun day and night throughout Spring, Summer and Fall, then you can have that. Live a life well lived, keep your GPA above 3.8, network with fellow students, professors, alumni, get great internships, plan your short and long term future, and always keep your goals in mind. Cheers
