More Options If You Have a Car
There are a few restaurants within walking distance (about 1 mile off campus). Some places hold odd hours. There is a great coffee shop, a cupcake place, and a bar and grille type restaurant. There are also a few pizza places, a sub shop, chinese and an upscale restaurant. If you have a car, there are even more options, mostly chain restaurants.

Next to Nothing
Unless you have a car or know someone with a car, don't plan on going anywhere outside of the SMALL SMALL town. There is a shuttle bus that runs Saturday afternoons ONLY to the local mall and Walmart and Target. There is a bus stop that is within walking-distance, but most buses require running to Harrisburg to go anywhere. The bus routes are very roundabout and take a long time. There is definitely a need for a car here.

Free for All
Susquehanna gave me, and many friends, great scholarships. The financial aid office was very helpful and always returned calls and emails within a very short amount of time.

House Parties and Underage Drinking
Sometimes it seems like everyone drinks here. Honestly, I'm not a huge partier, but it is so easy to go to a house party- especially if you are female. Girls get in free most of times, and guys can get in by paying and by bringing a certain number of girls. It doesn't matter if you're underage. The police station is located right next to the main row of party homes, but that doesn't deter parties one bit. There are parties every weekend. I have heard that they run out of alcohol quickly, so most people "pregame" in their dorms. Be sure to bring your own alcohol to your dorm. They will really only check for it over breaks, so hide it well or bring it home then, and they will also only check if they have a good reason. Most RAs are pretty laid back, so they barely write people up. If you party, come here. You can get shlammered. If you don't, good luck finding something to do on weekends. Oh and there are bars in town that are within walking (or crawling) distance if you are 21+.

Here but Not a Huge Deal
Greek life is whatever. There are frats and sororities but there is no pressure either way if you want to be in one or not.

Good Instructors
The instructors here are very accessible. It is a very small campus so most professors can make time for students. I am an English Education major. The only downfall here about the Education program is that there is no Special Ed. certification. This makes me want to transfer.
