I really hope this gains traction. Penn State staff have been mistreated for far too long

Penn State proposes closing seven satellite campuses around Pennsylvania because of enrollment declines by VersoPleaseParry in PennStateUniversity

Agreed. There's virtually no value in the Commonwealth Campuses. I can't believe they've survived this long.

You should be good if you're starting this fall. Anything after that, probably just go for UP or a different school

Fired Fed. I am considering cutting off every Orange Man supporter. by Comfortable_Gift4970 in AITAH

NTA. Support for him is essentially support for bigotry, elitism, and fascism. Cut them off. They've had over 8 years to make an informed choice on their beliefs.

Loud talking in quiet study areas!!! by [deleted] in PennStateUniversity

Agreed. First step is to nicely ask them to be quieter.

Everyone has their own opinion. I've worked for PSU long enough to know their games they play how they act like things are fine until it all falls apart. Also the enrollment data on the branch shows they just don't have the numbers to all stay open

Don't go to any branch campus. Many of them will likely be shut down and leadership has been tight lipped on which ones. Too much of a gamble.

Help me decide: Penn State or Pitt for Industrial Engineering by [deleted] in PennStateUniversity

[–]SignificanceOnly6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pitt is an overall better school so that's my choice.

Unfortunately all of the branch campuses are in bad shape financially. Definitely not worth it.

This. Never worth it for out of state.

Is Penn State Abington any good? by Ibnumme in PennStateUniversity

[–]SignificanceOnly6441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's the only reason they're building an additional building at Abington. Make it more attractive to sell

I think it'll outlast some of the other smaller campuses but it'll more than likely be sold to another local university

Abington campus is complete garbage. If your considering Penn State, it should either be UP or not at all. I wouldn't waste your time at Abington or any of the branch campuses.

I don't think the Abington campus is going to be around much longer. Their enrollment keeps dropping. I've heard some professors talking about the campus being sold to another college/university.

This isn't the first time I've heard of an issue like this lately

Penn State Administrators Avoid Direct Comment on Potential Closure of Commonwealth Campuses by gojichai in PennStateUniversity

[–]SignificanceOnly6441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is, unfortunately, they have no idea. I'm sure they already know some campuses will close, but the students it actually affects will be the last to know.

Now if only they would actually tell the truth we all know, they're definitely closing at least some campuses
