No, Penn State Harrisburg is not "perfect." Yes, it is located in the middle of nowhere and there isn't much to do in Middletown. However, the university is within driving distance of shopping malls, movie theaters, an amusement park, a zoo, ice skating and roller skating rinks, and of course downtown Harrisburg which is complete with bars and clubs. As for the educational quality, I am grateful that I attended PSH. While I was very disappointed by the lack of clubs and activities to participate in, there have been improvements to that area since I graduated. Also, the academic advising was pretty terrible. However, my classes were wonderful, and I feel that I graduated with a thorough understanding of how to do my job today, and I made lifelong friends in the process. My cohort at PSH became like family, including the professors. To this day, professors regularly keep in touch with the students and welcome them back to campus to visit and share their insight into the field of education. I have run into former PSH professors before at restaurants and even Walmart, and had them stop to give me a hug and ask how I'm doing. I don't think you're going to find much better teachers than that. Finally, while PSH is a very small campus, I feel that's part of its draw and its charm. I never experienced any part of the campus looking bad or unattractive. Collaboration/Competitive: A+, Surrounding City: D Have a Question?

The main pros for me have been my professors. The professors in the political science/public policy department are all pretty brilliant and will give you an amazing education. That is the only upside to this campus in my opinion. Everything else about this school is a con. The majority of the student body don't care about anything. Most people I know do just enough work to get a C and pass. Middletown was probably a very nice town during the industrial revolution but now its just a dirty dying town. There is absolutely nothing to do at Penn State Harrisburg. Sitting in the cafeteria eating over priced food gets old after awhile. The supporting faculty are pretty incompetent. I've unfortunately been here for almost two years, today I sent out my first transfer applications. Take my advice and don't waste a single minute or dollar at Penn State Harrisburg.
