Mr. Green ("Want tickets? Try harder in high school, get into UP," April 3), please leave your comparisons to other schools at home. Penn State is all one university. The schools that comprise the University of California system, for example, are all separate entities and thus cannot be compared to Penn State.

Lock Haven, West Chester and Millersville are all separate schools, yes. Penn State University Park and Penn State York are not.

Whether the choice to go to a particular campus is because of grades, a personal choice or any other circumstance, it doesn't change the fact that everyone at any campus is a Penn State student and will graduate with a degree from The Pennsylvania State University.
