$30k for penn state world campus or $30k for the real Purdue.

Penn State World Campus is the real Penn State... all WC students are officially registered at University Park (main campus) colleges (college of liberal arts, earth sciences, whichever), and receive the same diplomas as UP students. They make zero distinction on the diploma or transcript, and honors are calculated at the college level (i.e. against in-presence students). It is not like PUG or UMass Global which are actually separate universities.

You can also take classes from any other campus - WC is just responsible for the administration of a lot of the online courses for Penn State. Which is why campus-based students can take WC classes in the summer (and during pandemics...).

That said, I'd prefer Purdue to Penn State.
