You have to live in Middletown though, which is a huge tradeoff.

As someone who lives in the greater Harrisburg area this is a serious negative for the Harrisburg campus. Can confirm.

Edit: No offense Middletown people. It's just that when I was college-aged I'd take a hard pass on your town. Now that I'm old I have no problems with you. I like Tattered Flag. We're cool.

Middletown is a cesspit. It’s not even nice enough to reach cesspool levels. I heard a few years ago they tried to make the town dry because of the campus. Imagine how much that would suck.

I went to Penn State New Kensington, outside of Pittsburgh. They had a small college experience with a big university budget. I knew all of the professors in my major by my 2nd year, but also presented at a national conference my 4th year.

When it came to paying for it, I always advised that is you get good at homework, they will pay you to do your in scholarships and paid research work.
