Most Helpful Review for Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Harrisburg
- Category: Am learning a lot
- Review by: Christopher from Mechanicsburg, PA

The course curricula here are challenging and fast. Students are expected to work hard and read much of the material on their own. The teachers are usually extremely knowledgeable, with either doctorate degrees or years of in the field experience. One of the best attributes of this school is the high proportion of graduate students. The reason for this is that Penn State Harrisburg was originally a graduate school. With seasoned academics all over campus, help is always available when needed.

It is a smaller campus compared to other Penn State locations. The cafeteria food is actually quite good and they offer healthy choices. The classes can be difficult so study hard.

Penn State Harrisburg is a great place to attend. Although it is a fairly small and simple campus, there is many opportunities to have fun.

I guess the opportunities to enjoy yourself presents itself only if you look for it. They could do a little better job at including the students to get involved in the expensive school activities we pay so much money for.

Penn State Harrisburg has a little bit of everything. It is considered the second best Penn State campus. It is a small campus which makes us more like a family.

Same degree as a State College graduate for 1/3 the price. Hands on professors teaching a wide array of classes. Not very much night life or Greek life.

Its a good school with nice people. Teachers are easy to contact. The area is somewhat secluded so a car is helpful.

I am
accepted here and planning to attend soon
I was originally accepted to Penn State Schuylkill and hated my freshman year at this campus. Overall, I did great but the area wasn't for me and this campus lacked the courses I needed to complete before entering my major. Penn State Harrisburg is awesome- they have a much bigger campus, hold a lot more events and have every course I need to take before the end of my sophomore year.

On a scale of one to ten, this campus earns a nine because all areas of the campus are constantly progressing in ways to improve the college experience for students. The professors, librarians, class rooms, greek life, organizations, community center events, the CUB, campus housing, campus cafe, athletics and community are continuously advancing to complete the whole college experience. The community is great for students who need the scenery of a college and not a fast city.
