Campus | Experience | Facts

When it's time to relax, close the books, and hang out with your friends, you have a lot of options.

You can choose from clubs and organizations, intramural sports, lectures, and presentations, and trips to nearby areas such as Hershey, Gettysburg, Lancaster, and University Park to complement your classroom work.

Recent events on campus include performances by the Philadelphia Brass and Ballet Long Island, the student-sponsored community Earth Day celebration, Spring Jam, movie nights, noontime concerts, Clubfest, game nights, and make-your-own-music video day.

Our area is rich in out-of-classroom experiences including Hersheypark, the Giant Center, Hershey Bears Hockey, Pennsylvania Farm Show, Harrisburg Senators Baseball, the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts, I MAX, as well as area theatres, museums, boating and fishing. The campus is located less than two hours from Penn State's University Park Campus.
