Brandywine
Welcome to on-campus living at Penn State Brandywine, a beautiful campus in Middletown Township about four miles west of Media, Pennsylvania.
Whether you plan to finish your degree here or move on to University Park or one of Penn State's 19 other campuses, you'll love Brandywine's small size, award-winning faculty, and opportunities for leadership and athletic participation.
The opening of Orchard Hall and Student Union in fall 2017 has added to the student experience and provides more opportunities for involvement and leadership. Housing, Food Services, and Residence Life are thrilled to provide the Penn State on-campus living tradition at Brandywine.
