The last time Penn State University Park had a snow day was.... February 14th, 2007...before that.... February 17, 2003.
My conclusion: Penn State is kickass.
Students often want a snowday, they're quite a lot of fun, but it's kind of nice to brag about still going to classes during the Snowpocalypse of 2010. Everyone else closed around the region but University Park remained open. There's even a facebook group dedicated to the hardiness of PSU: If the world ends in 2012, Penn State University Park will still be open. It is annoying to walk to class in x feet of snow or on solid ice but it also makes us much more awesome than other schools, other campuses even. We're kickass enough, and possibly foolish enough, to keep on going no matter what the weather.
Apparently Hitler felt the need to chime in on the issue: check out the Youtube video
