A First Tier Party School; Penn State Ranked in top 50 by US News and World Report

US News and World Report has released its rankings for universities. Penn State comes in at #47.

It's a respectable ranking and is "first tier" as USNWR puts it.

Harvard is the top ranked U - very top drawer.

I recommend that you compare the tuitions among the various institutions; if you're a parent, it might make you cry - or want to move to virginia.
