Its magical

PSU Abington is a great place to get involved, network, and maintain relationships with professors and staff. There are endless benefits to this school and is underestimated. It is a safe and diverse campus with a welcoming, family feeling. Still get the Penn State diploma and education and overall PRIDE!

This is a commuter school so many people go home right away but there are many campus events they can attend if they stay for a bit. If you live in the dorms, you can take advantage of the many events and opportunities here cause you can stay later. The campus is also beautiful all year round—honestly one of the most diverse PWIs.

Hated it at first, but ended up loving it along the way. The best way to make friends is by joining clubs. Parking is sometimes hard if ur a commuter (which is most of the students). I don't recommend the cafeteria food here tho. The good food can be found on restaurants around the school. Its a great branch campus to start off ur 2+2 program.

This is a commuter school, a lot cheaper the UPark or other branch campuses. Small class size, awesome when focusing on your major and wanting to make close connections with faculty. its an old campus but it gets the job done. Very quiet and peaceful, helps with the stress of college classes! Love it. Definitely somewhere to focus on academics!

Easiest transition from high school to college. I was intimidated at first but it was a nice transition and I love it here. The hills on campus suck but what campus doesn't have that issue

This is a nice campus, everyone commutes but events are good if you stay a while and check it out. The professors do care to help you and everyone is really chill and easygoing to talk to, some can be shy so don't be afraid to make the first move and introduce yourself! Kind of an introverts dream but lots of room for friends and activities.

Worst Problem is parking if you don't choose your classes early morning.

You may not end up where you started. You may not be going where you thought you were going once you graduate. But you probably still won't regret it. They're a happy environment and try to keep you happy as students. They're encouraging all around and will mold you to be a better person once you're out of there. Regardless of major.

Reality is sinking in. Place is a ghost town on break. Heat is shut off. No one stays here. Send help and food and maybe a movie.

Run. It's that bad.

I would rather go die if I was asked to come this place. If you came, congrats, you are going to spend the most meaningless four years here.

Awful place, Abington is a really small campus. The high school near Abington would be better than here, if you have other choices, don't come!!

There are way too many students here. The recent freshman class of 1200 for this small campus is way too big. Try and study in any kind of quiet is a pipe dream. Every common area is packed, even in the quiet studies are rowdy classmates. The internet is dicey at best. Not a place for me to gain my higher education.

If you could give a 0 rating I would. Save yourself and do not go here. Sad place.

Please do not go to this school if you are able to not go. I initially was going to be staying here for the 2+2 program, but after attending for a semester I realized I had to gather as much credits as I could to escape. No social life, awful professors, the worst campus location ever- no dorms are within a walking distance of less than 15 minutes.
