It's well known that State College, endearingly nicknamed "Happy Valley," is home to the main campus of Penn State and its Nittany Lions, but it also boasts some of the swingingest singles activity in the country. Along with the highest percentage of singles in our top 25 (better than 3 of 4 residents are available), State College has legendary taverns like the Rathskeller and the Gingerbread Man (locals call it the G-Man), plenty of fine dining outlets and an active arts community.
