I overall love my campus. been here 4 years. Most of my professors are great. I have 2 professors for my IT program who are very nice and understanding and do a great job. I learn a lot. The campus is affordable too.
You get a reputable degree. This campus has lots of resources: tutoring, career services, gym, advisors, counseling etc. Also they hold lots of activities/events like speakers, magician, Therapeutic thursdays, etc. People always want to help.
Lots of quiet spaces to study & parking. Free parking with parking pass. Easy to walk across campus (it's small)
One thing I wish is better is more tutoring subjects on campus; for the more obscure classes, you may have to do Zoom tutoring. I wish there were more students. I wish it was closer to home, I have a 30 min drive. It's in a scenic, quiet country area, but I wish it was walking distance of shops. Perhaps sports is not so big here, and the campus gets real quiet with the lack of students/commuter status. Cafe expensive.

Small class sizes, good mix of students ranging from adult learners to high school graduates to foreign exchange students, good interpersonal relations and communications with instructors
I was not expecting a lot coming to Penn State Wilkes Barre, but I was very wrong. The faculty are amazing, the atmosphere is great, and I have been enjoying my time. I am so thankful to be apart of it all.
