Hi all,
I'm actually at UMD for grad school, but i just graduated from Penn State last year so I thought I'd drop in and give you all some recommendations for around SC.
Best Mexican Food: Rey Azteca. It's out by the mall... If you google map it, it's really easy to find. Seriously though, this place is incredible. It opened when I was a sophomore and within a few months they knew me by name. So, so good. I miss it terribly.
Best Wings: Wings Over happy valley, though if you live out by Vairo blvd or farther, they won't deliver to you.
Best pizza: The Brothers at the bottom of old main lawn
Best bar to avoid undergrads at: Darkhorse Tavern
Enjoy State College. I didn't appreciate it nearly as much as I do now that I'm no longer there, but it's really an awesome place to live. Plus you guys are lucky you're not living on a stipend near DC.
