This will be the millionth college town I've lived in - I was born and raised in Ames, Iowa (Iowa State), went to college in Kirksville, Mo (Truman State), worked at Valparaiso University, lived in Chapel Hill, NC for 5 years (UNC) and now live in Champaign (Illinois).

Champaign is probably the worst college town I've ever lived in and from what I've researched on the internet, State College seems to be a huge step up from Champaign - it seems to have a lot of character and isn't located in the middle of a corn field.

Here in Illinois, it seems that the state government focuses all of their time and effort on Chicago. Is that the same in PA - do people in the middle feel that they get the shaft because of Pittsburgh and Philly?
