Pros

The school offers a host of opportunities to staff/faculty as well as students. As someone interested in research, there are always a large number of projects available for collaboration.

Cons

The location of Penn State is one that could deter interested applicants, for the town of State College, while the perfect example of a college town, is just that: a college town. Aside from State College, the location is incredibly rural and doesn't offer much diversity.
