While I'm in south now, many people still regard Penn State as a good school. I remember when I entered US at SF for my study, the immigration officer asked where I was going. I told him I was going to Penn State. And he immediately say that's a great school. Well, I do admit that some people don't necessarily understand how good is our MBA program but I believe that's the same for Van. Penn State has one of the biggest living alumni network in US, especially in northeast. So what's most important in making decision is probably LZ's focus.
