Central Penn College — Local services in East Pennsboro Township

Central Penn has its ups and downs, but I would say it really is not that much different from other colleges I have been to. You have your grind of going to class, sitting through lectures, and several hours of outside class work. Like any college experience the more you put into your classes the more you will get out of it. Some of the reviews on here are rather biased, I think due to existing circumstances.

I deeply regret coming here and would recommend others stay away from this school as well. Also, the campus itself is very awkwardly designed and does not feel good to...

As an full-time employed adult-learner who returned to complete a bachelor's degree part-time to advance in my career, I would recommend Central Penn College. The professors that I have had are qualified real-world experienced educators who are also experienced adjuncts at other area colleges and universities. Most of those professors have full-time jobs with organizations from within the area, and are understanding and forgiving when it comes to your personal family or work obligations. Remember, you only get out what you put in. If you are disciplined and focused, you can...
