Pa., the campus's in the east,for example in Pa. ,will offer you the chance to hunt after school and on weekends. In the far west, you may have to drive 30 or more miles to get away from campus to hunting areas. Usually, the colleges in the west are in fairly large cities. In Pa., you can be off the Clarion Campus in just a few minutes into forests or game lands. I don't think the hunting there is nearly what it once was, but what there is, is far easier to access than in the far west.
Clarion was a nice campus at one time. Some of the northern schools are also located in good country.
Plus there used to be lots of small game in those hills, and most professors, at least when I attended school there, were not too bent out of shape if you went deer hunting opening day instead of going to class.
As a friend, I will suggest you brush up on your writing skills before hitting college. They used to have a class called comp 1 and 2. They will hammer you into the ground if you cannot write a decent composition. I know when I write, I have errors, but for thirty years I had to be perfect. Now I don't. But you will need very good writing skills to survive in college.
Just an honest hint.
