What will Penn State look like in 50 years?

 

[psuro]

More importantly, how many of us will be here to ***** about it?

 

[VicVaselino]

I don't know, but I won't smell too good, that's for sure.

It’s going to be bigger and less reputable; once the smaller PA schools are no longer sustainable and close there will be fewer options and Penn State, to my knowledge, isn’t in the business of getting smaller (unless you count branch campuses, which may close, but I am talking exclusively about UP here).

PSU will be totally tuition free. However the application rejection rate will be 100%. Thus the expanded BOT will appoint a blue ribbon panel of former PSU Presidents to study this anomaly.

More impm3eortantly, how many of us will be here to ***** about it?

Not me....that's what I'm up against.

There will be far fewer brick and mortar institutions still in business-PSU will not be one of them.

 

[Woodpecker]

Well, I see a school in that picture

 

[Achowalogan]

I think they are already underwater….

I think it will be developed sort of akin to the last Newhart episode dream. Only it most likely won't be Japanese ownership.

Let's assume WW3 happens within that time. I imagine some militia seizes the complex because of the agrarian value they seem to highly value and doesn't PSU have a Nuclear Reactor on Campus. Tons of resources and isolated as you can be in large numbers. Of course that is relative.

And the art museum

Looks like Sandy Barbour will get her new aquatic center.

Apples and Oranges since OSU is in a major metropolitan and Penn State isn’t, not to mention OSU medical complex being right by campus and not 2 hrs away like Hershey, but the way OSU continues to grow and build with focus on health and innovation is amazing. I hate OSU athletics, but have to applaud them on the academic side.

All that to say, I don’t see UP changing much. Innovation Park should be busting at the seams with them running out of land. Not the case.

Will have been assimilated into Tsinghua University and designated Tsinghua University West as part of the Chinese Belt and Road initiative.

What time will the lots open??

 

[Keyser Soze 16802]

Each county will have a branch campus with an average student head count of 47

The BOT will still be asking for more state money

What will Penn State look like in 50 years?

I'm thinking a branch campus of Beijing Tech.

That's the Underwater Basket-weaving building.
