The University of Pennsylvania, located in Philadelphia, is private.

As a general rule, the schools with the name "University of..."
were established by the respective states' legislature as the prime public
higher education institution. Those with the name "... State University"
were established either as teachers' colleges or, as in the case of Alabama State,
Delaware State, Kentucky State, South Carolina State, Tennessee State and Virginia State,
as technical colleges for African-Americans during the Segregation era.

Well the University System of Georgia threw those rules out the window a few years back. Nearly every single 4-year public college is now either __________ College and State University or ______ State University. The only exceptions: Medical College of Georgia, University of Georgia, Georgia Institute of Technology. One tech school went as far as to change its' name. Southern Tech changed its' name to Southern Polytechnic and State University.
