State College, Pennsylvania

State College is a town in Central Pennsylvania, home to one of the largest universities in the US, Pennsylvania State University or Penn State. The town was established in 1855 mainly growing with the university. The university itself lies in University Park, with a separate zip code. In 1953, the President of the university Milton S. Eisenhower tried to get the town's name changed from State College, but failed. Later University Park was granted a separate zip code by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the elder brother of Milton Eisenhower.

State College hosts the Annual Central Pennsylvania Festival of Arts and thousands throng to
the area during the event. Around State College are many historic towns and places to see,
including Bellefonte, Shavers Creek and Penns Cave.

State College lies on US-322, a small detour from I-80. It is definitely worth a visit, just to see the beautiful campus and taste the icecream. It can also serve as a base for further exploration of Central Pennsylvania, which has many tourist spots. It is also less than 5 hours drive from NY city, DC, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Buffalo. Great Location!
