Can you fence in any non-collegiate groups or programs? I'd try scoping the fencing "scene" outside of Penn State.
You go to school for academics, not hobbies. I can understand the appeal of continuing hobbies in college, but you should focus on your academic priorities, and expand your non-scholastic activities according to those available at the best school for your preferred academic/occupational direction. If you later find that hey, design sucks ass and I don't want to waste my time studying this shit!, you can always transfer.
edit: damn, didn't read your second post. I still say go for academics at PS, and see if you can fit a lighter load of fencing into your schedule that may be available outside of the school's team.
