UT-Austin - all major undergrad and postgrad; no veterinary school
Texas A&M - all major undergrad and postgrad; now has a law school (as of 2013); medical school since 1981; the only veterinary school in Texas
Puerto Rico has three main flagship institutions, all administered by the UPR system. All colleges in PR are regionally accredited by Middle States.
UPR Rio Piedras
-Doctoral/post doctoral, high research institution recognized by the Carnegie Foundation.
-Largest research institution in Latin America.
-It has several liberal art schools.
-It has a communications school.
-It has an ABA approved law school.
-Second largest campus, but largest student population. It resembles A LOT to UT Austin.
-NCAA division II
UPR Mayaguez
-Land, sea and space granting institution: from undegrad to post doctoral research.
-Second largest Hispanic/Latino serving institution in the US.
-Grants the largest number of engineering degrees out of any American institution. Thirty five of those are granted to women.
-They're considering annexing a (no longer ABA accredited) law faculty into their system.
-NCAA division II.
Both colleges have business schools.
RCM (Recinto de Ciencias Medicas)
Medical Sciences Campus
-Teaching hospital annexed to the UPR medical and
dentistry schools.

These colleges are extremely affordable but also very selective in terms of acceptance.

Penn State is so easy to get into that it hardly has rejects.
But, yes, "Penn" refers to University of Penn.
Penn State has a fairly high standard for acceptance College Navigator - Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus Often students start at a satellite campus and then attend main campus for their last two years. BTW, Penn State, Pitt and Temple are not fully state funded.
Maybe he meant Penn State. I have a cousin at Penn State who says that Penn State makes fun of UPenn, because all Penn State rejects end up at UPenn.
Seriously?

The standards for admission as a freshman at the main campus are fairly high. However, the standards for admission at the Commonwealth Campuses (satellites) are lower, and a student in good standing at a CC can transfer to the main campus.

Many state universities are not fully state funded. None of the state universities in CO are fully funded. This is an old article (2011) but it hasn't gotten any better. CU less dependent on state funds, more on donations - Boulder Daily Camera **During the same time period, state support dried up from $209.76 million to $88.21 million -- shrinking from 15 percent of the total CU systemwide budget to 3.4 percent.** (2002-2010)
