Finding The Total Cost Of Penn State-Themed Bed Parties

Deciding on a college is one of life’s most exciting moments, especially when you commit to a school with as much pride as Penn State.

Many high school seniors who decide on what school they’re attending the following year have “bed parties” in which they cover their bed with merchandise, snacks, and other decorations to show off school spirit.

These parties, however, come at a steep cost. We decided to dive into a few bed parties that future Penn Staters hosted and assess the damage done to their bank accounts.
