PA CPS resources vary wildly community to community. In nicer burbs like those in Bucs, Montco, and Delco there's plenty of access and good response. Out in rural counties there's next to nothing, and the communities are super conservative so reporting is definitely discouraged culturally. Inner cities have the opposite problem where poverty is so rampant there are not enough resources to go around.

Our rates of reported abuse are statistically super low, which means our CPS is likely doing a terrible job at providing resources and reporting cases. I imagine that the rural parts of the state have near zero reporting and the inner cities are underreporting on purpose or some combination of the two.

Not that screwed, you just need to leave the airport and avoid 95, driving through essington through side streets towards Philly. It's not that much longer if you're heading to West Philly, especially university city

  1. Drexel's a private university there's no in state vs out of state

  2. it doesn't cost 60k a year, it costs $16-18k a quarter in tuition, and you only have 12 quarters to pay for over a 5 year program putting the base tuition cost around 200k without financial aid

  3. everyone gets substantial financial aid at Drexel; I got 50% off tuition, so that leaves $100k in tuition

  4. Drexel students get 3 coops in a 5 year program, and I earned an avg $20k each coop, which leaves $40k

  5. FAFSA loans account for a little over $6k a year, and over 5 years I got $31k in FAFSA loans leaving $9 in tuition

  6. I worked as a barback for 3 summers, earning $6k avg each summer covering for total $18k

So I graduated with a net +9k after my time at Drexel, and had paid my parents back completely before I even graduated. But sure, go ahead and tell me about how privileged I am because I liked to have fun with my friends every now and then.
