Abington
Welcome to on-campus living at Penn State Abington, a beautiful park-like campus on 45 wooded acres in suburban Philadelphia and just 15 miles north of Center City.
Whether you plan to finish your degree here - like nearly half of all Abington students - or move on to University Park or one of Penn State's 19 other campuses, you'll love the close-knit community, award-winning faculty, and opportunities for leadership and athletic participation at Abington.
With a population of about 400 students, apartment living at Lions Gate adds to the student experience and provides more opportunities for involvement and leadership.
