Personally, I get in state tuition, so the price is definitely fair for what I get. I love everything about this campus and I would pay even more if I had to.

Penn state is definitely worth it if you are paying in state tuition, but the out of state tuition is expensive.

While Penn State is one of the most expensive public universities in the country, it is definitely worth your money. With thousands of Penn State Alumni in the world, it's hard not to get a job as a Penn State Grad. So, even though four years at PSU hurts your wallet, the career opportunities after graduation certainly make up for it.

Penn State is all-around amazing. You can get a good degree and a good job right out of college, while still having an amazing time and raging your face off with your friends on the weekends.
