The Village at Penn State, an innovative idea in life care retirement community living, combines the cultural, recreational and educational opportunities of a world-class university with the friendliness and charm of small-town living. University-affiliated retirement communities like The Village are a growing trend in the U.S. A big part of the aallure is the intellectual and cultural stimulation.
