Why did I choose Penn State Schuylkill?
“I chose Penn State Schuylkill because I’ve always wanted to attend Penn State. I like the smaller campus size so I can really get to know everyone and have professors who are willing to help me succeed. I like being close to home and having a parent working on campus. I also get to save money and enjoy myself.”
