The Penn State system of colleges is immense, with the flagship campus located in the central Pennsylvania town of University Park. Penn State's Nittany Lions football team, under the leadership of Joe Paterno, has certainly made their mark on intercollegiate athletics. Athletics aside, however, the state system provides students, specifically Pennsylvania residents, with a top-notch education at a reasonable price. Penn State has 19 colleges spread throughout the state and a handful of "special mission" campuses, including a School of Law and the Hershey College of Medicine.

Similarly, the state university system boasts 14 universities that serve more than 100,000 students. Extremely affordable, the system accommodates many Pennsylvania residents that may not otherwise be able to afford a college education. The universities are located throughout the state and many have their own specialties. For example, West Chester State University is known as a fine teaching college and for their excellent music department and East Stroudsburg produces fine physical education professionals.
