Hello I won’t be returning to Penn State in the fall but have a lease for with Hudson Lofts, are there any women looking to live there? The rent would be $1,070 (utilities included in this price) but I’m willing to give you $200 each month so it’d decrease to 870. You’d have your own bedroom, share a bathroom and living space (kitchen included) There’s in unit laundry as well so no extra money would be needed to go towards laundry. I know this is super last minute so just let me know if you’re interested.

Hey everyone!

We are an international sports organization from Italy (Lesgo USA), and we are bringing a group of student-athletes to Penn State Behrend this summer for an immersive sports and college life camp.

Instead of flying our media crew all the way from Europe, we’d love to hire local talent who knows the campus inside out and wants to make some money while building a killer portfolio.

What we are looking for:

• A freelance student videographer/photographer.
• Someone to shoot high-energy sports highlights, daily campus life, and short interviews.
• Ability to provide both standard photos and vertical video formats (for Reels/TikTok).
• You must have your own gear (camera, basic audio for interviews).

What’s in it for you:

• It’s a paid gig: we will agree on a fair flat rate.
• Great Portfolio Builder: you’ll be working with a European organization, adding a cool international project to your resume.
• Flexibility: we can work around your summer schedule, whether you want to shoot just a few hours a day or be more involved.

If you are around Erie/Behrend this summer and want to get involved, shoot me a DM with:

1. A brief intro about yourself.
2. A link to your portfolio, Instagram, or YouTube channel.

Feel free to tag or share this with anyone you know in the media programs at Behrend who might be looking for summer work. Thanks!

Which dorms should I absolutely avoid as a freshman? I've heard Trippe Hall is the best because it's newer, but how do older halls like Niagara or Lawrence compare in terms of social vibe and maintenance (heating/cleanliness) during the winter?

I recently got into Penn State 2+2 program at Behrend for mechE out of state and I’m conflicted between this opportunity vs. attending UT Arlington with a major in aeroE. My goal is to become an aerospace engineer and I understand that mechE can get me to the same place. I’m not really familiar at all with Behrend and the whole atmosphere/feel for the 2+2 program. UTA is in-state for me and I know I’d save a lot of money by going there but I feel like the opportunities and experience I get at Penn State would be much more beneficial for my career since it’s ranked for mechE and the whole alumni association. I need help in knowing if Behrend plus the transition to UP is worth it!

if you’ve worked on campus what can you tell me what you did i’m probably gonna do either brunos, dobbins, or the galley

Hello! Im a sophomore at behrend, looking for another girl to room with next year (next fall semester) at university gates! Does anyone have tips on how to find one?

Are there any fencing clubs at or near Behrend. I keep seeing the Behrend fencing club on google but it doesn’t seem like it’s been active for a year or two.

Looking for someone to take over my lease for the 2025–2026 school year!

You’d have Room A in the 133 apartment — arguably the most convenient spot on the property, just steps from the crosswalk and right next to the office building.

While the apartment isn’t renovated, the appliances are in excellent condition, and the A/C works perfectly.

Your two future roommates are extremely respectful and easy to live with, so you can count on an stress-free environment.

If you’re interested or have any questions, send me a message! This is a great opportunity to lock in a prime location before the semester starts.

Hi everyone, I’m an international student from Kenya who got admitted to Penn State University Park but I am considering starting at Behrend because of affordability. I had a few questions and would really appreciate any honest insights: How diverse is Behrend? Are there many international students, and is the environment generally welcoming?’m planning to major in Statistics and minor in Finance. How are the academics for these programs at Behrend? What are the co-op or internship opportunities like for international students?How is housing at Behrend? Are there options for single rooms? How active is the men’s soccer team, and is it realistic for someone who isn’t recruited yet to join? Would love to hear from current or past students about your experience, esp if you are an international student too.

Hii! I'm an international student from India, and I recently got accepted at PSU Behrend for MA in Clinical Psychology! I am super excited to join the course this year! The primary reason why I chose Behrend is that, one, my research interests align with 2 of the professors there and not in Harrisburg and two, on the website, they have mentioned this course to make graduates eligible for licensure. I would really appreciate it if someone could give a detailed review (how is the course, how are the teachers, how are the people, living costs, part-time opportunities, funding opportunities for international students, things I should be aware of etc) of their experience at Penn State and a little about the employability of students after graduation. Thank you!

I also would love to connect with people, as this would be my first time travelling abroad and would love to get familiar with what I am getting myself into. Thank you again!

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for someone to take over my Ugates lease for the 2025-2026 school year. The apartment is 833C, and Room C is the largest in the unit.

The apartment features a freshly renovated kitchen, and two amazing roommates who have already made the living space cozy with LED lighting, a 65-inch TV, couch covers, and other stylish decor.

Located on the third floor of the 800s complex, this unit is in one of the cleanest and safest buildings in the community.

If you’re interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out!

My buddy’s son just got accepted to Behrend and was asking me about the campus and student life.

I graduated in ‘96 after attending UP so I told him I’d post here to get some comments from my Lions who were in Erie :-)

Anything I can share with him beyond the wikipedia? Family lives out of state and was told his prospective student could transfer after 3 years in Erie. They’re a football family and our prospective student got accepted in to the 5 year Constructional Engineering program.

We Are!

The other roommate is also a 4th year bio student that is really into dumbass birds.

I’m a senior in high school who will be attending penn state Erie next year as it’s an affiliated school with LECOM’s EAP program. I was wondering if any other people are currently LECOM EAP students at penn state behrend as Im hoping to connect with other students. I’m also wondering if I can get my own room(shared bathroom or communal bathroom is fine)

I applied and got accepted into Penn State's 2+2 program and the first 2 years are at behrend. I am international student and I don't know anyone who are going to behrend and im hoping I could connect anf make friends with anyone stating spring 2025 at behrend.

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
