When did you know you were going to attend Penn State?

Sharing stories about just how or when or what came to mind that led you to make your decision about selecting PSU might be nice to here.

Was it your decision alone?

Did you follow your brother or sister?

Were you recruited to play a sport by Penn State?

Was their a family tradition to do so?

Did somebody help guide - school advisor wise to check out dear old state?

Or were you just drunk out of your mind and said: "Oh what the hell! PSU looks good!"

Perhaps you followed a girlfriend or boyfriend to dear old state.

Do tell please.

Thank you!
