Let's be fair. You're comparing University Park to Corvallis. - Mop Apr 5, 08:20 2
- town stats are remarkably similar. I looked at wiki. -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 5, 08:23 1
  - Putting the town in the middle of open fields and refusing to have an airport keeps the riffraff away. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:26
It looks like they don't have commercial service which surprises. Even we had an airport (the university owned it) - ty97 Apr 5, 08:05 10
- The nearest airport is Eugene which is an hour away. Portland is two hours or 2.5 on a shuttle. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:12 9
  - I'm just surprised you can't maintain a couple of Horizon flights to Seattle or United Express to SFO with your population. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 08:25 5
    - Eugene has to subside their flights. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:27 4
      - Right, but State College and College Station don't have to. And they have multiple carriers. - ty97 Apr 5, 08:29 3
        
        Honestly, Penn State has three times our enrollment. The metrics don't work. - Mop Apr 5, 08:31 2
        
        You're reading the enrollment for all campuses. University Park has 46.8K. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 08:35 1
        
        And our 33k enrollment includes participation in our massive online campus. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:38
  - I could always make in an hour and a half, easy. -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 08:24
  - So much time wasted when you could instead be out looking for the Gravity Falls statue. -- nm - Cadbarony Creme Egg Apr 5, 08:19 1
    - I'm keeping a close eye out the window. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:22
