Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)

This schools professors know what they're talking about. I have learned a lot in just my first semester! Every major has a ton of hands on training.
Kyle from Sunbury, PA
Never go a day without homework in one of classes
Amber from Philadelphia, PA
I AM DEFINITELY LEARNING MORE THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED. THE WELDING CLASSES AND WELDING THEORY ALONG WITH THE CNC PROGRAMMING AND ROBOTICS REALLY HELP ME TO SEE WHAT KIND OF FUTURE I MAY CONSIDER.
Patrick from Amesbury, MA
As a Penn College student I am learning a lot, practically a lot more than what I did know, by learning hands on. With great college professors they're willing to help you learn even better in and out of the class room.
Jennifer from Berwick, PA
I am pleased with my experience. The instructors are knowledgable and eager to help. I plan to continue attending.
Travis from Williamsport, PA
I love all of my teachers here, they makes it easier to learn but at the same time make it FUN for all! Love this place, so easy to get around also.
Cristina from Cochranton, PA
You can tell the teachers really care about students; a lot of them will go above and beyond to help you succeed.
The small class sizes allow you to ask questions and interact with classmates; the professor actually knows your name and it's just a really friendly learning environment.
There are always tons of events going on around campus, which offers great opportunities to new students to meet friends!
Amanda from Lititz, PA
this college is one of the best colleges out there for some one who is not to excited to go back to school. this school has short corse. it is an amazing place every one is extremely nice and you really do learn about what you love.
Joseph from Zelienople, PA
i love the small classes. i love the attention given by each professor. and the food isn't bad either! :)
Camara from Lehighton, PA
I came to this college with already 3 years of vocational experience in my major and 2 years of work experience. Starting my first class year I was already learning things that I have never knew before or we went into more depth on those fuzzy subjects that never really stuck. Now being 2 years into my degree I'm constantly learning new things. I'm a Manufacturing Engineering student and I just finished a robotics class this past semester, we got to use, program, and design the brand new robots and robotic cells. Its incredible!
