Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2083786, member: 6761"] [I][B]She chose Connecticut over Penn State “strictly for the academics,” she said[/B][/I] Of course, it could have been a specific program, though both are excellent in Ag Sciences. Penn State make a terrific, heroic run for overall academic excellence in the 80s and 90s but sort of fell back into the pack because of budget cuts. UConn has made an ever greater run recently. There have been budget cuts as well over the last couple of years, but UConn still has a lot of momentum. The state, however, has serious pension challenges, and only time will tell whether UConn can keep the momentum going. Almost all state universities throughout the country are suffering similarly.
