<p>Which campus is the best academically under PSU?</p>
<p>I’d say Altoona and Erie.
If I were you, I would pick Altoona since it is fairly close to the main campus.
(that is, if you’re interested in transferring to the main)</p>
<p>Berks is a very pleasant campus, along a riverfront park in the suburbs of Reading. However they have a shortage of oncampus housing. Altoona is another pleasant campus, but many people complain about the lack of things to do in the town. As noted above, it is the closest major campus to U. Park, so it is not that hard to visit for sporting events, etc. Harrisburg/Middletown has the second largest library in the Penn State system and has many grad students, which creates a different vibe from some other campuses.</p>
