State College trivia: Like many travelers to Penn State's campus,
you may be confused as to the exact location of Penn State. Is the university
in State College or University Park? Actually, both answers are correct! The
town is called State College, but the university lands are officially referred
to as University Park. This is why all campus addresses are listed as
University Park, but any off-campus local addresses are listed as State
College. Local legend holds Milton Eisenhower -- former Penn State president
and brother of U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower -- responsible for the decisions
leading to this confusion.
