Harrisburg University of Science and Technology — Attraction in Harrisburg

For Harrisburg University, I had my ups and downs with the school, but the negatives outweighed the positives. The area around the school: There are many homeless and loiters around, which is concerning. Also, the Strawberry Square plaza isn't the best, and stores close early. Housing application process: It was tedious because you had to fill out an application to the school and fill out another to a company called PMI, which runs one of the two dorms. You also have to pay a fee of $35 for each person on the application. The Dorms: Expect annoying mandatory housing meeting emails, inspections, and issues happening in your dorms, especially with bugs. The University: The place is primarily clean except for the windows. The professors are friendly, but expect some classes to be lackluster. There isn't a cafeteria or sports outside of e-sports. Student services: I mostly have bad experiences with them. I can't share flyers for the unofficial Uni discord without issues from the student service people. Lately, I've gotten an email since the school has problems with me, saying my discord, which allows people to tutor or get tutoring, is an issue since that's a service they already have.

Is this a college? It looks like a failing business. My daughter was interested in this school, but after visiting the school, she changed her mind.

The school is a parking garage. There is no campus. The school is 1 building, surrounded by other buildings. The college CANNOT expand if it is fully surrounded (where is this college future?)

The college is also on probation and might lose its accreditation.

This 1 building/ Parking garage is low quality and offers VERY limited majors.

This is the "WORST COLLEGE" on my daughter's college list.

Everyone deserves better than Harrisburg University. I don't understand how they are attracting students.They are probably accepting students with low high school GPAs or maybe the students are the children of the administrators. I don't understand this school, its a huge mystery.

Students are NOT getting a real college experience at this place. Is this a scam or what? They don't offer anything worthwhile and they LACK in amenities (dining halls, campus store, bookstore), in academic programs, resources, opportunities, activities/athletics, and everything that equals a good college experience. The school has NOTHING.

I smell closure. Can someone give me more insight about this school? (Where is this...

Those who are looking to go to Medical School or something of that nature, beware.

I spent three years at this school and I enjoyed it. I know everyone and I got to know my professors at a deeper level. The professors are also willing to give useful feedback and advice; however, I was told by Admissions in 2011 that this school had strong connections for people looking into going to Med School, and my mom and I were convinced that HU would be able to accommodate my needs.

I must say that this school is more for Tech students. There are a TON of opportunities/guest speakers/ etc. that are available. Although, there is very little for science students. Not EVERYONE can (wants) to intern at the Coroner's office.

Before I left, I helped establish a need for a Pre-Med major and I'm hoping that it won't be run into the ground. I can't stick around and waste my time with people on the 14th floor who are still on the fence though, so I decided to transfer after my junior year...

Just something...
