I LOVE SKOOK. everyone knows you and you can make the best of friends here. I have yet to meet a rude person on this campus. The classes are fun and small. If you play a sport here it makes the experience so much better. This is the best decison I have ever made. <3333

this is a warning to all incoming penn state student: DO NOT pick schuylkill campus, I can not stress that enough. It is horrible, the people are horrible. Everyone is racist here. The weekends are boring because there is literally nothing to do here. Even the movie theater is almost an hour away.. the whole campus should seriously be sanitized.

This campus sucks. i would not advice anyone to go to Schuylkill, pick a different campus. There's nothing to do there and the town is racist.

This is probably the worst penn state campus to choose. Do not come here it is boring and the weekends are terrible there is absolutely nothing to do here, everyone in the town is racist and they stare at everyone. There are good teachers but this campus should only be for commuters. Upark is the best place to be.
