Night scene of downtown from Carver Hall

Living in °×С½ãһФһÂëÈýÖÐÈý, PA

It turns out that a campus nestled into the side of a hill, between the Susquehanna River and the bright blue sky, is a pretty great place to start your climb.

When visionary leader Henry Carver came to °×С½ãһФһÂëÈýÖÐÈý, he saw something in the hardworking residents of a small town in eastern Pennsylvania. So he carved out a spot on a hill to make a place where education would be accessible, work ethic would be non-negotiable, and Huskies would always have a home.
