Penn State has an amazing Ice Cream Lab

as part of it's leading Agriculture Department. They also have a renowned Linguistics School.
Maybe it's time for the University and it's Alumni to start being proud of what a fine academic institution it is instead of a place with a good football team.

and drive to campus to get ice cream there. My parents met at UNL and so we would walk around and they would talk about their time there. Loved that ice cream, and the memories. Thanks for reminding me.

Penn State's is the largest in the country and I believe the most prestigious. Ben and Jerry are alums

I never understood the rabid college football thing. I'm not a rah-rah kind of person.

Laboratory ice cream tends toward the 'full of air and additives' sort, because ice cream is a simple and pure product that can be mastered with 5 ingredients and a brain.
