'''Pennsylvania State University''' (or Penn State) is a [[Pennsylvania]] [[university]] founded in 1855.<ref>http://www.psu.edu/ur/about/historyshort.html</ref> The school is semi-public, technically state related, because it is one of four schools that fall under the Commonwealth System of Higher Education, which allows schools to be independently run and publicly funded. The school ranked #48 in US News's 2008 "National [[University|Universities]]: Top Schools" list.<ref>http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/t1natudoc_brief.php</ref>
