All I have to say is that first review is great. This place is so nasty those "noisey" St. Joes students won't even consider living here anymore. I went to some amazing parties in this dump in my day, and just walking through the building made me want to throw up, (then walking out after these great parties I did throw up). Anyone who knows anything of this building has to remember the shooting in 2001, (my senior year). That was fun. If I am not mistaken I do believe that this building is now Section 8 housing, or for the stupid people out there "welfare housing". If you see a resident of Pennbrook on the street please give them money.

I've lived here since 1999 and do not recall any shooting ever taking place in this building (I would certainly remember that detail as it would undoubtedly have caused me to hightail it out of here). The only crime that I'm aware of in this building was one theft, 2 or 3 years back. This neighborhood is quite safe.

This reviewer completely misrepresents the Pennbrook (maybe it was the drunken haze that s/he admits to having been in at the time). The review reads like a fantastic tale of urban danger and intrigue (with a supposed shooting and plenty of "welfare people".) I'm left imagining something like Grand Theft Auto. It's exciting, but it's just not true. Come out and see for yourself.

Oh its definately true. I lived there when the shooting happened. AND IT WAS THE SECURITY GAURD THAT SHOT THE PERSON!! it was great for us because we were so close to campus but we certainly werent safe there. it was a bad sign when we went home for spring break and upon returning discover that overbrook market had put up bullet proof glass all over. P-brook is a dump... but we loved it!
