Golden Garden, a Chinese restaurant on Buffalo
road, is only about a three minute drive from the
entrance to Behrend, and features a welcoming atmo
sphere and excellent selection of food.
At dinnertime, diners can either eat buffet-style
or order a specific dish. Golden Garden is either dine
in or take-out, and the fantastically decorated interior
makes it an inviting place to eat.
The food, constantly being resupplied and
refreshed by employees, was great. The team in
charge of the restaurant tries very hard to keep cus
tomers happy and keep the food at the highest quality
possible. It is genuinely Chinese - sticky rice and all -
and has the taste to prove it There was a high selec
tion of any Chinese dish at the buffet, including an
entire table devoted to entirely desserts. Some des-
serts were Chinese in nature, while others were clas
sic dessert dishes, such as eclairs or a coconut type of
cake.
Golden Garden is also very popular for their
delivery on campus. The restaurant is easily afford
able; they offer both free delivery and a five percent
discount to students who show their ED. Also, the
delivery service is very fast as the restaurant is very
nearby on Buffalo Road.
Overall, Golden Garden is a great way to get
real Chinese food at a low price. Whether you’re wait
ing for the game in your dorm or meeting with a
friend, Golden Garden is the place to go for true fans
of good food.

Everyone has probably seen the new
construction taking place near the
University Gate Apartments complex
across from Penn State Erie, the Behrend
College, but many do not know that it is
going to be a Hungry Howie's, a laundry
mat. student lounge, fitness room and the
new home of the University Gate office.
“ That's going to be a great local place to
hang out- they're going to make a killing,"
said sophomore Tyler Lyon.
The new building is not only open to the
residents but to all Behrend students.
Students see major advantages in having
this new addition near Behrend's campus.
“I won't have to walk to the Junker center
every time I want to work out.” says
Sophomore Laura Cammarata. “I think it
will encourage people to work out,” adds
Lyon.
Freshman Jordan Shelleby says that it
will provide another place to study other
than the library on campus; the shorter

walk and alternative atmosphere could
offer an appealing environment.
“We won't have to drive to Sheetz now,”
Lyon continues, “we can just walk to the
new pizza place now.” It will also present
more job opportunities for Behrend stu
dents, and should allow more students to
exercise by cutting down on the crowds in
the Junker Center’s weight room- some
thing that has been a problem lately. It will
also help by offering additional laundry
services, as the campus lacks them in some
On the negative side, the new structure
could potentially cause larger crowds
around the complex and make the parking
situation more hectic, but students don’t
seem concerned. “Now with this new
addition, with Bruno’s Cafe, Health and
Wellness, and the LEB movies, there is
really no need to leave campus,” says
Shellaby. Manager of the complex, Wendy
Huoo, said "We hope to have the construc
tion done by the time everyone comes back
for the spring semester.” She encourages
students to check out their website for fur
ther information.
