Ivan - 04/17/2018

I did not think I would enjoy attending Penn State DuBois. I got very comfortable with the campus, students, and professors. I love all my professors, and the class sizes are perfect for me. The class sizes are not too big, it is the size of a typical high school class, it really depends though. If you like the smaller setting then this school is a great pick. Not everyone likes a big campus and I know I do not. I am also from here locally so it feels like the 13th grade. I am extremely comfortable here. I do not feel in any type of danger in town or on campus. The students and staff are friendly and talkative. Everyone here is welcome. I suggest that if you want to have a smaller more intimate type of college experience, then come on down to Penn State DuBois.

Kendell - 07/19/2017

Penn state DuBois is a really nice small campus. Since it is so small you tend to become friends with the other students. the food on campus is really good. There are a lot resources available to students. there are always professors who are willing to help any student. It is a really nice campus and school.

Penn State DuBois is a great campus for those who grew up in small towns. It creates a sense of diversity while being accessible to people from all over the world. Being a commonwealth campus of University Park, tuition is much more affordable for those who do not have a strong financial backing.
