The only problem is that neither of those things are a sure thing. Penn State is a great school and all, but I know lots of people who've gone there and gone down the rabbit hole because there is just too much there. You need to be focused and shut out a lot of temptations. I'm sure it's the same at any very large school. If distraction is an issue for her, Valpo-like places are probably her best bet to succeed - the initial $ outlay stings but it's worth it if she's in a place where she can excel.
