Jasmine - 01/26/2020

My overall opinion of Pennsylvania State Brandywine is that it’s the best for students who just really want to get away , it’s not too crowded and noisy either. I can study and not worry about people acting a fool outside , we came here to learn and that’s exactly what takes place.

Haley - 08/17/2019

It is a very beautiful school. The school is very new and they have renovated all the buildings. Dorms are brand new and have tons of room. All of the workers there are very nice and helpful. They have a very good softball team. They are a small school but have a lot to offer in many different ways. Class sizes are small so you can work one on one with professors and get as much help as need.

Jamie - 06/21/2019

The school is perfect for students who chose to do the 2&2 program or are interested in a small campus with mostly commuter students. The student housing on campus is new, and clean. Teacher are almost always available, and are willing to help the students that put in effort to their studies. Along with that, class sizes are normally small, creating great bonds between student and teacher.
