His first choice was Pitt, but he can no longer afford it.

Will he come back to Pennsylvania once he is an M.D.? I doubt it.

The same will hold true for engineers, computer scientists, teachers, MBA's, attorneys.

Our best and brightest will be leaving Pennsylvania in droves. Corbett is chasing away students and jobs, in addition to causing a "brain drain."

Congratulations, Governor Corbett, on your continued ruination of Pennsylvania. Tom, why does the whole commonwealth have to suffer just because you weren't good enough to cut it at our best universities?
