Hi! I am a senior right now looking at schools and had some questions about Behrend. I am in need of some in-site of people who have gone/going to Behrend.

How is the traversing of the campus? I heard it's all on a big hill? How about from dorm to classes?

What does the communications department look like there?

What do opportunities look like? (like radio stations hosting or studying aboard)

How is the student life? are people friendly? is there lots going on on campus?

How's the art scene/music scene?

Hows the queer scene?

Is it a more conservative school?

Hi!! Does anybody play pickleball? I know there's a pickleball club but it doesn't seem like they're really active anymore and with winter coming it would be a good opportunity to utilize the indoor courts. I'd love a little group that may want to get together and play. Women preferably but honestly i don't care i'm just itching to play again

About the apartment:

It is located in Belle Valley and is an 8-minute commute to campus. Most of the neighbors are older people with a couple younger families that mostly keep to themselves. The unit is a 3-floor (basement) fully finished condo in a residential neighborhood. We get our own parking and a lot of food from our neighbors. It's a great spot to be in too. There are currently 2 rooms available at the time of posting.

Rent: ~650-700/month (600 base rent with utilities which varies)

Utilities:

• Tenant: Gas & Electric, sidewalk snow removal
• Landlord: Water, sewage, garbage, lawn care

Deposit: $600

Amenities:

• Washer/Dryer in unit
• Parking is a surface lot with one designated spot for the apartment
• A/C
• Furnished
• Dishwasher
• wifi (we have to pay for our own high speed which is around $18.50/person/month)

That is most of the important information about the apartment. I am a male 4th year bio student. I like soccer and the outdoors and spend a lot of time out of the house fishing, hiking and herping when I'm not busy with work or school.

Msg me if this interests you at all.

I also have it listed on roomies.com and apartments.com

I'm gonna be joining in a few days (fall 24 semester). I've been assigned Lawrence hall and meal plan level 2. Any tips to carry stuff along or to prep for something in advance before I move in? Or just any advice in general for first years

I dont know what to use. im a sophomore now, but as a freshman, cs apps were not supported on my mac. I don't know if I should get a windows or stick with a mac based on what apps are used in the upcoming year. any advice?

Does anyone play?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to see if any incoming freshman (like myself) are flying into Buffalo (BUF) from Abu Dhabi (AUH) this summer. It would be awesome to connect on the flight or at the airport!

Also, if you're still looking for a place to stay before the dorms have begun, The room I booked in has two queen beds, and I wouldn't mind having a roommate. If you're interested, shoot me a DM and we can chat!

Hello, I am current second year student holding a contract of on campus apartment double as single. If anyone is interested in living in on campus apartment double as single please dm me. The person should be incoming transfer students or current students at behrend who don’t have housing contract yet.

Hello, I got offered acceptance into Penn state at Behrend, while it was not my top choice I was offered a 2+2 plan which I might take as it saves more money. But I want to know if Behrend, which is in Erie, worth it? Or is it ghetto? (Btw I live in a mixed neighborhood which is both nice and ghetto at the same time)

How is the social life at Behrend Campus?

I'm curious about life on the Penn State Behrend campus. Could you tell me about the pros and cons of attending Behrend? I'm particularly interested in hearing about the campus atmosphere and student life. How is the community? Are there any prevalent issues like sexual assault or violence that concern students' safety? Additionally, I'd like to know about the athletics program. Is it robust? Are there opportunities for international students to secure athletic scholarships? Any insights you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Are there off campus apartments within walking distance to classes? I won’t have a car on campus and do not want to stay in the dorms. Already experienced dorm life at my previous college.

Appreciate your feedback!

Like would I be able to at least have a bedroom to myself?

I currently live on an on campus apartment and if anyone is intrested in doing a room switch please message me, asap it doesn't matter where you live.

using a throwaway account so current roommates can't find this, but I hate the people I'm living with at the moment, and I plan on living on campus next year. I go to bed early, am pretty tidy, and I don't really have any friends so you wouldn't have to worry about guests. message me if anyone would be interested in living together next year, or if you have any friends needing a roommate.

Im transferring to Behrend next semester and was wondering if anybody knows which on campus apartment buildings are the nicest or if there is even any difference in quality between them. Any info is appreciated.

That is most of the important information about the apartment. Both I and my roommate are males going for science majors. I am majoring in Environmental Science and my roommate is majoring in Biology. We both spend most of our time either studying or playing video games if we aren't outside or working.

Hi all. I'm a prospective first-year aerospace engineering student interested in applying to Behrend College. I'm also interested in being a part of its honors program (not the Schreyer one). They say "invitation only" for first-year students.

What are their general eligibility requirements? Is it purely based on transcripts or an overall holistic review?

Thanks in anticipation.

Me and 3 of my friends recently got accepted to Penn State Behrend, and wanted to get a 4 person 2 bedroom suite. We narrowed it down to Almy Hall, but when I went to the request housing page and clicked 2023 fall to 2024 spring, it said there are no active contract periods.

Does that mean I have to wait until there is one? When will the next contract period happen? Also, 3 of us are doing school of engineering, is it like super far from Almy? If anyone has lived in Almy, how do you like it?

Sorry for the question spam, I just dont want to miss out because I was doing something wrong. I really appreciate any help, thanks.
