    It is not much cheaper than the main campus, but it is not much different academically either. And the dorms are much better.

    The students in Penn State Berks are very friendly! If you don't have any friends in the school it is really easy to make a friend at Tully's or the library. Don't be shy and make an attempt. You'll see how diverse these students are and how many connections you will find in each and every one.

    It's not worth it to live on campus. All the parties are broken up by the cops. A lot of people have gotten an underage for drinking. Weekends are very boring, as most people go home because there is nothing to do on campus.
