I believe the school in itself is very good with what they're working with, which is a smaller school with a lower amount of students compared to University Park. The professors have all been amazing, giving us their office hours and willingly giving help to those who need it. I don't know a lot about the housing or food, but they're pretty okay. I'm more interested in the academics anyway, so those details mean little to me. I would recommend this school for students who are trying to slowly get adjusted to college life, and they may eventually transfer to main campus if that's what they want.

Penn State Univeristy wants to see you succeed unlike any other college. Theres plenty of colleges that want their students to be successful but what makes Penn State unbeatable is they actually prepare you for the real world while helping you succeed during college life as well.

Carissa - 02/11/2019

My overall opinion of Pennsylvania State University's Worthington Scranton Campus is that it is a home environment. Penn state has always been a big place for me, but once I was on campus my whole life changed. the professors and the students are so nice here and always offer a helping hand. This campus was built to make you feel at home, an most times the time just flys by. There is no other place I would rather be than on this campus. I would recommend this carpus o many people, and in fact have already. i hope this review puts a perspective n jut how great this campus really is.

Luke - 02/01/2019

My overall opinion of this campus was that it was amazing. I have heard from alumni that Penn State was great and I should check out the worthington campus and it was a great experience. In addition to this I have a lot of friends who go here and they say just the greatest things about the campus and the housing that is offered is just as amazing. I really can't wait to go here in the fall

    Procrastinating in high school is a whole lot different in college. It might seem easier since you will have less classes and think you will have more time to hang out with friends.

It will be tempting to hang out and have a great time since the atmosphere is so different. Pay attention in class, re-write your notes if you have too, and when studying, take short breaks so you're not as stressed. Think about it, In May you will be let out for summer break! You can have all the fun you want then.
