Brandywine is a great chance for students to commute to school! If you don't like dorm rooms, then this is the place for you! I don't eat lunch from the cafeteria but, there is plenty of room for people to bring there lunch and eat. This is definitely one of the best choices I made for my college career. and you save a lot of money doing so.

I had the chance to go to University Park as any other student has when they have a GPA higher than a 2.0 (lol), however I decided to stay here. This campus allowed me to save money, and it also allowed me to know my professors and fellow students very personally, and this helped me get amazing grades. I loved my experience at this campus.

i evaluated this school based on 3 criteria. Size distance and price. It has the smallest size, the most expensive price, but the closest distance. Even though it was near that was not enough. 1 out of 3 doesn't cut it. I ended up crossing it off my list. If it had been cheaper andor bigger maybe I would've went. I would love to go to it but price

Just like any other college, this campus likes to hide/cover up incidents. There was a student on the soccer team who, to put it lightly, bullied a homeless man in Philly and it went viral all over social media and campus. From what I heard, nothing happened to the student because athletes also get special treatment unfortunately.

Don't waste your time at PSU unless you are going to U-Park. It's that simple.

This school doesn’t care about their students. Messed over so many people i know including me. Student life wise, its extremely cliquey so if you want to feel like your back in high school again, this school’s for you. Very few professors are actually good at teaching, but majority expect you to know everything right out of high school.

If you want to feel like you are in Highschool all over again feel free to come to this campus

it's somewhat affordable but it comes at a cost. Kind of a waste of money wouldn't call it a college. My high school was bigger.

Nothing to do on this campus, food is awful and unhealthy, salad bar closes before 6 and isn't even open at the weekends.
