Which of these should I do (part 2)

[Indy Texas]

Okay, I don't know where your hatred of the state you've ostensibly managed to survive in for a while is coming from, but would it kill you to go to Penn State, graduate, then give PA a big middle finger and go start your life elsewhere with minimal student debt?

If you're writing off Pennsylvania entirely, I don't really understand why you're dead set on New England. The public universities in that region really aren't great, with the exception of UConn and maybe University of Vermont.

You seem to want to be in a more "liberal" place than the environment you're currently in, but the reality is that even universities in stereotypically conservative places tend to be left-leaning or at least have no shortage of people of that disposition. Unless you're going to Bob Jones or Liberty or Patrick Henry College, you're going to find Democrats, you're going to find LGBT people, you're going to find every kind of unconventional/alternative lifestyle/viewpoint you could think of. I went to a Baptist university in Texas and we still had Prius-driving liberals and fair trade fundamentalists and I once had a bizarre discussion with my friend's Ethiopian Marxist roommate who believed the British monarchy needed to be overthrown.
