Review of Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Harrisburg
from New Bloomfield, PA
Describe your college in three sentences.
Penn State Harrisburg is honestly the best university. The professors are great and hands on. Your education will be a cut above the rest!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Some tips are:
-Don't come here and think it will be like High School, this mindset will KILL your GPA
-GO TO CLASS
-DO YOUR WORK
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academics are challenging but as long as you remain focused, you can get through it! College is not supposed to be easy.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love living on campus and I love the housing. Not many colleges have the option of having your own room and I LOVE that being an option at Penn State Harrisburg.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Stacks (the campus cafeteria) is amazing, I live for their breakfast sandwiches. Also, Biscotti's serves Starbucks drinks, even specialty ones and you can pay with your meal plan! How awesome is that?
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's a ton to do for fun here. You can join THON and help run the events the club hosts. Not to mention there's a ton of other clubs you can join. There's also baseball, basketball, volleyball games to attend and many on campus events such as the annual Carnival For A Cure or Big Man on Campus!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This college is a lot more affordable than most universities and you get, in my opinion, a better experience and education.

They notify you IMMEDIATELY when there is a crime on campus, which there almost never is. We also have our own police station and they are actual state officers.
