25 Yearsley Mill Rd.
Media, Pa. 19063
Penn State Brandywine is located in Middletown Township on PA Route 352 just north of the Promenade at Granite Run, one mile north of US Route 1 (Baltimore Pike) and six miles south of PA Route 3 (West Chester Pike). The campus sits on a 112 acre site about 20 miles west of Philadelphia and four miles west of Media. Interstate 476, the Mid-County Expressway (known locally as the "Blue Route") has made the campus even more accessible from all parts of the Delaware Valley. You can get to the campus from downtown Philadelphia in 30 minutes using I-95 and I-476. The main entrance to the campus is on Route 352 at Campus Drive.
