Hey, I'm starting my college search and am leaning towards Pennsylvania because I have family there. If anyone has a list of colleges in Pennsylvania, could you share it with me?
Sure, I'll provide a list of some colleges and universities in Pennsylvania. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it includes a variety of institutions across the state:
1. University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia)
2. Pennsylvania State University (State College)

Each of these schools has different strengths, resources, and focal areas, so I would recommend starting with this list and then doing some additional research on each institution. Factors to consider could include location, academic programs, campus culture, cost, and other pieces that might be important to you in your college search.
Also, remember to take advantage of resources like the CollegeVine website. They have school profiles and chancing calculators which can help you understand your chances of getting into certain schools based on your academic and extracurricular profile.
