Penn State is not a typical public university. You might as well have said UC-Berkeley.

Hell Penn is a public university and an Ivy.

Penn and Penn State are distinct universities; Penn State is a public university (and not an Ivy), while Penn is a private university (and an Ivy).

I knew that Penn & Penn State are distinct schools. Though I did not know that University of Pennsylvania is a private university. My mistake.
