Temple University Harrisburg is located downtown right in Strawberry Square across from Bagel…read moreLovers. I had NO idea it's been there for over 30 years. From the outside, you'd think this was just a building to come and ask questions about Temple University (main campus) but it's actually a full-service university (class rooms and all lol) . It's really spacious and very up to date with it's look. CASA students take classes here because they have way more than enough space. They offer flexible freshman and transfer programs - super convenient for anyone who has credits If you're ever in the area you should definitely check it out!

Penn State Harrisburg is an incredible place to study, especially for Computer Science. It's the…read morelargest branch campus in the Penn State system, which actually makes it bigger than many standalone universities across Pennsylvania. That size brings the best of both worlds: the prestige and resources of a major research institution, combined with a close-knit campus community. The Computer Science program is particularly strong, with professors who genuinely care about student success and coursework that builds real-world technical skills. There are also plenty of opportunities for research, internships, and networking with employers. Campus life keeps growing each year, new buildings, more student organizations, and tons of events that make it easy to get involved. You can tell the school is investing heavily in its future, and the student population keeps increasing because of it. Overall, Penn State Harrisburg delivers an outstanding experience, academically, professionally, and socially. I couldn't recommend it more highly, especially for anyone pursuing Computer Science or Engineering.

This is the worst university I have ever graduated from. I have attended and graduated from three…read moredifferent universities. Penn State Harrisburg is outrageously expensive and the quality of education is not near worth what they charge. They don't treat students very well and I could give many examples of that. I had one professor who was given three classes to teach for what she had. Absolutely no qualifications to teach. In one class she relied on the students in the class to help her teach the class and would rely on calling her son during class. At one point I got an email from registrar threatening to cancel my classes because they said I wasn't attending classes. I called the director of registrar and told him not only have I not missed a class. I had never even been late for a class. I completely chewed him out. Most of the class content of the classes had nothing to do with the major and the field that I was pursuing yet they charge top dollar for it and once they got my money they couldn't have cared less. I moved across the country and was hoping to get a graduate assistantship which pays my tuition. They didn't even tell me until I got here from California that I had to take the GRE to even be considered. So I took the GRE and never got the graduate assistantship and they wouldn't even inform me and let me know. In my opinion and my experience, Penn State Harrisburg is a completely unprofessional discombobulated poor quality shabby institution that charges probably 10 times what they should charge for the quality of experience in education they provide. I WOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE TO ATTEND PENN STATE.

I regret spending two years studying art. I had a black student steal my ceramic molds for finals…read moreweek and brought it to the attention of administrators. I was told to let the protected class student have them and drop my complaint. They said since molds were easy to make I should have been able to play catch up pretty fast. My professor Jim Lard was screwing one of his student assistants and his son won 1st place in every student art show that year. I'd say HACC is a joke and I hope they dismantle the art department if they haven't done so already.

For Harrisburg University, I had my ups and downs with the school, but the negatives outweighed the…read morepositives. The area around the school: There are many homeless and loiters around, which is concerning. Also, the Strawberry Square plaza isn't the best, and stores close early. Housing application process: It was tedious because you had to fill out an application to the school and fill out another to a company called PMI, which runs one of the two dorms. You also have to pay a fee of $35 for each person on the application. The Dorms: Expect annoying mandatory housing meeting emails, inspections, and issues happening in your dorms, especially with bugs. The University: The place is primarily clean except for the windows. The professors are friendly but expect some classes to be lackluster. There isn't a cafeteria or sports outside of e-sports. Student services: I mostly have bad experiences with them. I can't share flyers for the unofficial Uni discord without issues from the student service people. Lately, I've gotten an email since the school has problems with me, saying my discord, which allows people to tutor or get tutoring, is an issue since that's a service they already have. This server isn't official/isn't run by Harrisburg officials, and it's posted on the flyers themselves.

Everyone is wonderful, from the students to the faculty to the resident staff! I was welcome from the moment I stepped on campus for my very first visit, and the staff was incredibly helpful throughout the very stressful transfer process. The professors are fantastic with helping me through challenges that arise from being visually impaired. The office of Academic accessibility has been with me every step of the way, from allowing me to move in early to making sure I have accessible housing. BTW, the cafeteria food is by far and above the best I've ever had. Just come here. you have to.
