Behrend

Welcome to on-campus living at Penn State Behrend, a beautiful campus on 854 acres just minutes from the heart of Erie and the shores of Lake Erie, and within about 100 miles of Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Buffalo.

Whether you plan to finish your degree here - like nearly three-quarters of Behrend students - or move on to University Park or one of Penn State's 19 other campuses, you'll love the academically rigorous, globally respected Penn State education in a setting where students can have close interaction with faculty and meaningful out-of-classroom experiences.

With an on-campus capacity of just over 1900 students, on-campus living at Behrend adds to the student experience and provides more opportunities for involvement and leadership. Housing, Food Services, and Residence Life is thrilled to provide the convenience, engagement, and unmatched "We Are" spirit to those who LiveOn at Penn State Behrend!
