Sarah - what neighborhood do you live in? Yes - if you live within the heart of student housing you are asking for variable risks that relate directly to student lifestyles. They are, in fact, what drives the Penn State community and economy. If you would look around at other locations that have been established in State College but not within walking distance to campus (IE Park Forest) or some of the newer developments within Ferguson and Patton Townships (still State College) you will find a very peaceful, clean living environment with all the advantages of the town. Parking is not a problem, either.
And Red Lobster??? Where the heck are you getting your data. There are plenty of high quality restaurants in the region, along with grocery stores, and the means to learn how to prepare your own unique dishes.
Good luck finding a better place to live. The heart of Pennsylvania is truly one of the greatest places to be, and it will only get better. Yes, the winters are sometimes tough, but that is for all of PA.
If you don't like cold weather, then Happy Valley is not for you. If you don't mind it and are looking for a vibrant, active small city with very low crime rates and a bright future with further expansion, check out State College, PA.
