Our location in dynamic downtown Harrisburg connects you to a diverse and exciting community that we think you will love to call home. You can see all the places to visit, things to do, and exciting happenings on our “city campus” by clicking the website www.Spotobe.com.  With so much going on, it’ll be hard not to over-schedule yourself.

Recreation

Strawberry Square is the student center. The Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts provides auditorium space and numerous cultural events. Restaurant Row and City Island provide countless dining, shopping, sporting and socializing events. The scenic nature areas along the nearby Susquehanna River offer a relaxing escape from classes and are the site for local concerts, art festivals, and shows. You can also tour Harrisburg’s many historic museums, workout at the local fitness clubs, visit the theatres or take in a minor league baseball game. Our location puts you close to hockey arenas, ski resorts and amusement parks, too.

Student Clubs and Organizations

You can participate in clubs or activities or create your own organizations and events. Indulge your interests, meet other students and get involved. Your fellow students are a resource for the surrounding community through volunteerism, involvement in social and cultural programs, and civic leadership.

Harrisburg Young Professionals

Our students get a free membership with Harrisburg Young Professionals (HYP).  HYP serves as a catalyst in making Harrisburg a better place to live, work, and play, while developing and retaining future leaders. Its membership consists of active, civic-minded professionals who have a clear vision of Harrisburg's future as a great place to live, work, play, and shop.  HYP also works to prevent the migration of educated young people to larger cities (often referred to as "brain drain") and to encourage those who have left to return to the Central Pennsylvania region.
