They sure devoted a lot of text to this

true, but I will say that Penn State is known for, among other things, its top notch forestry program, and it's a pretty challenging curriculum, along the lines of chemistry/engineering

Good for her, but this being in the news is extremely confusing


It would be one thing if she was accepted into Oxford or Cambridge (still wouldnt be news worthy, but I would not be as surprised to see a news article written on that)


Getting accepted into Penn State for grad school is not really news worthy

Considering the other headline news. It might be good to have some positive news.

If the most positive news south la can come up with is someone getting into Penn State, we might as well just nuke the mother fricker and start over

It sounds sort of interesting to me just from a quick glance at the PSU urban forestry page Not saying this is any way newsworthy, for the record.

If they've never heard of it, it's obviously shitty and pointless, right?

Penn State is actually a very good school and is super hard to get into. Like most big10 schools

Yay you can copy and paste a brief description from wiki. I'm so proud of you.

That's not the only thing green forestry can do.
