Review of State College, Pennsylvania


Pathetic pathetic pathetic
Star Rating - 6/3/2006
I like how posters here have been raving about the great "international" food choices...can you actually name some beyond Indian Pavillion? Oh, here's the catch....they have to be good restaurants...not the cheesy "oriental" cuisine that is a hodge-podge of many types of mediocre foods...Zola's is good, but pricey. If you are a vegetarian, you can enjoy their 1-2 vegetarian options...that won't get old.

This place is built for students. Not high quality students, Penn State students. If you are a student and you enjoy being drunk and not attending classes, this is a place you best check out.

The social scene here for adults is pathetic. Perhaps it is a good place to raise kids.

The housing market is out of control. People ask exorbitant prices for ugly homes. Guess when you are the only "city" in the middle of nowhere, people want to be in that location. It also helps that SC has the only school district in the region where students are encouraged to keep all their teeth.

The redeeming quality of State College is that it is within 3.5 hours to DC or Philly. I have enjoyed reading the blind allegiance some on this board have shown for this region though...must have never lived anywhere interesting.
