Penn State Harrisburg

<p>Got accepted to Smeal at Harrisburg, but on campus housing not available. Can someone tell me more about Harrisburg, including Academics, Students, difference between Smeal at University Park and Smeal at Harrisburg, etc... the bottom line is, good or bad. thanks!</p>

<p>You’re really not doing smeal at Harrisburg. What you’re essentially doing is your gen ed classes at Harrisburg and doing your major classes at UP.</p>

<p>My son just got an acceptance offer to Harrisburg as well. We didn’t accept it yet. Are you saying that no housing is available already ? How do you know? Did they tell you this after you accepted their offer?</p>

<p>dennis1… Yes, after you accepted the offer online, there is an option for you if you want to be on the waitlist. I was on the waitlist, but now I’ve decided to stay at Nittany Village, which is located by the entrance of the campus. Which semester are you in, I am attending Spring 14.</p>

<p>I just visited there and they have this deal with these 2 apartment complexes that are literally on the border of campus(easy 5 minute walk to classes) and they only accept students I personally like them better then the student housing. 4 people per suite 4 individual rooms freshman get stoves and large fridges unlike on campus…I like it cause it allows me to stay and work for the summer…they also use a roomate selection service</p>

<p>can any current students or alumni tell me how the parties are at harrisburg and where they are mainly located?</p>

<p>Campus is very close to Airport and away from downtown. Safe place, but not much to do. </p>
