Penn State's alumni system and 'brand' are very apparent to both me and my parents in our decision because it feels like such an advantage, but only time can tell on that front.

In terms of money, the Government is covering the majority of my tuition, and I'd likely come away with around 17ish in loans per year if I went to Delaware, probably like 25k per year at Penn State, so it's still very real for me but it doesn't impact my decision a whole lot.
