2024-2025 Housing Information Sessions

To help students and families understand the overall housing process and decision-making factors, the University offers a variety of information sessions, webinars, and more.

Housing for your second year and beyond

I just got to penn state, do i need to think about housing for next year already.

Many off-campus rental properties start to offer leases around October. Each landlord elects when to begin offering leases for the next year, so this will vary by property. Students interested in living on campus can request housing in October but do not have to decide until November when invitations are released to select a housing option.  

Both processes continue through the semester and there are many options available on and off campus. You can be confident you’ll find a great place to live; your choice doesn't have to be rushed or uninformed.

Below you will find key information to consider when deciding which housing option is best for you as well as the timeline for the housing process. For information on specific types of housing, use the following links:

• I know I want to live on campus  
• I know I want to live off campus  
• I am thinking about joining a fraternity or sorority

Information about on-campus housing, options, process timelines, and eLiving.

Never sign multiple contracts or leases.

The on-campus Housing and Food Service (HFS) Contract and off-campus apartment leases are binding contracts. Only sign one! Accepting a lease off campus is not a reason you will be released from the HFS Contract – you will have to pay rent AND room and board charges. The University will not cancel your HFS Contract because you signed a lease to live off campus.

Six things to consider in making your housing choice

In making your decision, consider what you want in a living situation, from cost to flexibility to responsibility. Here are some of the different elements to consider when making your decision.

• Cost:  A variety of price ranges are available on or off campus. Don’t forget to factor in any hidden fees, utilities, and the cost of food.  
• Location:  Depending on your preferences and needs, living on campus or off campus might be more suitable for you academically and socially.
• Community and Support: You will find vibrant communities on and off campus, but they are different. Think about what type of community you would like to be a part of. In addition,  the University has many ways to support students living on and off campus.
• Amenities:  Whether you are looking for your own bedroom and bathroom, a pool, or a quiet neighborhood, on- and off-campus living offer different things. Consider what’s important to you.
• Flexibility:  Do you need housing over the summer? Are you planning a semester abroad? On-campus housing is offered for the academic year but allows for flexibility for students pursuing academic-related programs, while off-campus housing typically requires a 12-month lease.
• Responsibility:  Living off-campus comes with a host of responsibilities that are beneficial for some students and a distraction for others.

On-Campus Considerations

Penn State's on-campus housing costs are generally similar to previous years' prices, with slight rate changes that are announced every spring. Room rates are all-inclusive, covering the cost of utilities and WiFi. There are no hidden fees. The Campus Meal Plan is required for all students living on campus and optional for students living in on-campus apartments.

The least expensive on-campus living option is a supplemental room and a double-occupancy room in a traditional residence hall. In contrast, the most expensive option is a single-occupancy room in Eastview Terrace.

With proximity to classes and school-sponsored events, like concerts and athletic events, nothing beats living on campus. Living on campus is a good fit if you like to stop by your room throughout the day, sleep a few extra minutes in the morning, or have a short walk home after clubs, sports, or activities.

When asked why they live on campus, students talked about the unmatched sense of community, a feeling of Penn State pride, and meeting friends for life. With on-campus living, students can participate in regular activities, such as arts and crafts nights, end-of-year carnivals, or even floor-wide IM teams. On-campus living provides opportunities for student leadership through the various residence hall governments.

On-campus living also has a built-in support network for students. Students living in University Housing have an additional layer of support from the Residence Life, Housing, and Food Service staff.  Your Resident Assistant (RA) is a great resource and the first stop for many students when they need a little extra help.

Upper-class students have more housing options available than first-year students: double-occupancy rooms in both traditional and renovated residence halls, single-occupancy rooms in traditional residence halls, single-occupancy rooms with private bathrooms in Eastview Terrace, two-person and four-person suites, supplemental housing, and on-campus apartments in Nittany and White Course.  

You can enjoy easy access to quiet study rooms, community spaces, and dining without leaving your housing area. A short walk will get you to on-campus fitness centers, rec spaces, and additional dining options.

On-campus housing is a great option if you know that you only need to be on campus during the actual academic year. Even if you opt to stay at the University during the summer, on-campus housing offers flexibility by offering housing only when you need it, so you are not paying extra.

Break Access/Holiday Housing is available for students who cannot leave campus during fall break, winter vacation, or spring break. You’ll be assigned to a designated building that remains open during these closedown periods, so you have the convenience of staying in your room. There is an additional fee for this service, reach out to the Housing Assignment Office to discuss this option.

If you have plans to study abroad or take a semester off, on-campus housing allows flexibility for these situations, and you can cancel your Housing and Food Services Contract with no penalty.

If you want to focus on academics rather than cooking, cleaning, or taking out the trash then on-campus living may be for you. On-campus living provides students with a low-maintenance living option. You will not have to shovel snow or mow the lawn, which some off-campus housing may require. Penn State Housing staff handle the cleaning, basic maintenance, and other essential services .

Off-Campus Considerations

Off-campus living options vary widely in price depending on location, size of living space, and the number of roommates. With off-campus housing, it’s also important to include other costs, such as utilities, food, transportation, and commute when considering the price of off-campus living options.

When looking at rental leases for apartments or houses, consider that most leases are paid in 12 equal installments and may include extra expenses such as application fees, amenity fees, ‘redecorating’ fees, or the cost of carpet cleaning, if that is required upon move out.

Off-campus living offers students more flexibility in choosing what type of area they would like to live in, a quiet complex located a bus ride away, or an apartment overlooking busy College Avenue. When researching off-campus options, consider how long it takes to get to campus for class or on-campus events, and whether you would walk, ride a bike, drive, or take the bus.

The sense of community can vary greatly depending on where you live off-campus and the type of housing you select. If you want to meet new people and connect with your neighbors, consider that in your search. No matter where you live off-campus, you will be part of a vibrant State College community. You may live next door to young families, professionals, or elderly individuals. It’s important to be a good neighbor to people whose schedules and priorities may differ from yours.

The Off-Campus Student Support Office can connect off-campus students with resources and provide information to help students navigate the off-campus community. 

Off-campus living offers nearly endless options for amenities. Want to come home to a pet-friendly apartment with a balcony? Or maybe you’d like to live in a community with a pool and hot tub with all your friends. Perhaps even a high-rise with an onsite fitness center. All are available with varying prices and terms.

Off-campus housing offers options, such as private bedrooms and bathrooms or shared living arrangements. Many complexes boast fitness centers, pools, community rooms, tanning beds, and more. Decide what’s important to you and how much you are willing to pay for those add-ons.

Unlike living on-campus, off-campus apartments and houses are typically 11 1/2-month leases. The year-round availability is an excellent perk for students with local internships in the summer or students who don’t plan to travel home over breaks.

With this perk also comes the responsibility of paying for the rent when you may no longer live there. If you plan to leave over the summer or complete a semester abroad, make sure to factor this into your decision.

With the freedom of living on your own off campus comes the responsibility of maintaining a rented property and adhering to a signed lease. You will be responsible for taking out the trash and cleaning the bathrooms. Some landlords will require tenants to assist with things such as snow removal or lawn mowing.

Understanding the housing process timeline

The on-campus (LiveOn) housing process is unified and administered by the University, so you'll find it has clear deadlines and procedures. The off-campus housing market consists of hundreds of private landlords and property managers. It is driven by market factors (the reason leases get signed in October is because consumers are willing to sign leases early to secure the spaces they want to have). The timeline and process for leasing are different for each property.

I am interested in living off-campus

The Office of Off-Campus Student Support offers resources and services to help support students who are living or planning to move off campus. You can even contact the office for a consultation if you are unsure if living off campus is right for you. Remember, many apartments still have openings as late as January or February, so you can take your time.

I am thinking about joining a fraternity or sorority and want to live within that community

The University provides on-campus housing in South Halls for many of the Panhellenic Association (PHC) Sorority Chapters. Many Interfraternity Council (IFC) Fraternity Chapters have off-campus housing options that are owned and operated by alumni from each organization. Students can learn more about the fraternity and sorority housing options on the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life's website .

Students considering joining a sorority or fraternity should expect to live within the chapter's community (South Halls for sororities and the chapter's off-campus facility for fraternities) for the entire academic year during their first year of membership, so it is important to think about these options as you make your housing decision.

• If you know you want to live on campus next year, regardless of the fraternity/sorority recruitment process, you should participate in the LiveOn Housing Process.
• If you only want to live on campus if you receive a bid from a sorority, you should not sign a lease or Housing and Food Service (HFS) Contract until you complete the process and accept your bid.

The LiveOn Housing Process  in eLiving for on-campus housing stays open through mid-February, so you will have time to make your decision based on receiving a bid to join one of the fraternity or sorority communities. However, if you want to live on campus, you should act quickly after bid day to make sure you Request Housing by February 15.

Penn state housing assignments set to drop july 20.

Penn State students will know their roommates, dorm assignments, and more once housing information officially drops at noon on Tuesday, July 20.

Once assignments are available, students can head over to eLiving to schedule move-in times and begin preparing for the fall semester. Just like last year, every Penn State student who’s living on campus this fall needs to schedule a move-in time.

Fall move-in will follow the week-long schedule depicted below. Monday, August 16, through Wednesday, August 18, is (ideally) reserved for incoming freshmen and those who have an academic need to move onto campus early. Official move-in for all other students will kick off on Friday, August 20.

Students living at White Course Apartments or the Nittany Lion Inn can arrive any day starting Friday, August 20.

Students moving in from August 16 to 18 will need to pay an early-bird fee. Penn State said it waived Thursday’s fee to give students and families a more convenient opportunity to move in ahead of the rush.

Before unpacking your cars, you’ll need to check in at the Bryce Jordan Center or Commons Desk to pick up your room keys and other move-in materials. Check out this online checklist to make sure you’ve got what you need before heading over.

Back in April, Penn State’s Board of Trustees unanimously voted to substantially increase room and board rates for the 2021-22 academic year. The adopted changes work out to a $203 increase per student per semester for those paying for a standard double room and mid-level meal plan — a 3.45% from 2020-21 mid-level rates.

Head over to Penn State’s Arrival page for more details on room assignments, move-in procedures, and more.

Reserving Space in the School of Music

Reserving rehearsal space in the school of music.

Penn State uses a comprehensive scheduling software called 25Live to manage room assignments for courses, meetings, rehearsals, and events. Any student wishing to reserve a room in the music buildings can do so on 25Live a minimum of 48 hours in advance. You will receive an email once your request has been submitted. More importantly, you will also receive a confirmation email if your request is approved. Be sure to check the details of the confirmation email as some requests may be altered depending on room availability. 

Visit www.registrar.psu.edu/collegenet/ to register on 25Live and learn how to submit an event request. All room reservation requests are labeled “event” for the purposes of 25Live.

Recital requests are  NOT made in 25Live. Directions for recital scheduling can be found here .

To Find a School of Music Room:

Giants saddle Phillies with third straight loss for first time this season

• Published: May. 29, 2024, 1:44 a.m.

• The Associated Press

By Eric He, The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Luis Matos hit a walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th inning, Spencer Howard pitched four scoreless innings and the San Francisco Giants beat the MLB-leading Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 on Tuesday night.

After the Phillies failed to score in the top of the 10th off Sean Hjelle (2-1), automatic runner Tyler Fitzgerald advanced to third on a flyball by Wilmer Flores before Matos knocked him in with a flyball to left off Matt Strahm (3-1).

Five San Francisco pitchers combined to shut down the Phillies for 10 innings. The Giants used an opener followed by Howard as the primary pitcher. For Sean Hjelle, who threw the last two innings, pitchers knew early on that everyone was locked in. He described a contagious feeling of passing on shutout innings from one pitcher to the next.

“I don’t want to be that guy that breaks it up,” Hjelle said.

The Giants have won 10 of their last 12 games, taking the first two games of the three-game series against the Phillies after being swept in a four-game set in Philadelphia earlier this month.

“We’re doing a lot of our best work late in the game,” manager Bob Melvin said. “So as long as we have a chance, we feel like we’re going to win the game if it’s late.”

Philadelphia has lost three straight games for the first time this season, and has the best record in the majors at 38-18.

Howard, who began his career with the Phillies, held his former team to four scoreless innings in his first appearance of the season. He followed three shutout innings by teammates Erik Miller and Taylor Rogers to start the game. Howard, once a top prospect, has bounced around the last few seasons and signed a minor league contract with the Giants last year.

Howard said he tried not to be spiteful and that it was nice to pitch against familiar batters.

“Just trying to make them hit the ball,” Howard said. “The most value I could provide is to eat the most amount of innings and save the pen — however it may be.”

Phillies starter Zack Wheeler threw 101 pitches, striking out nine and allowing two hits. Once a highly-touted prospect in the Giants’ organization, Wheeler has held San Francisco to one unearned run in two starts this season. He struck out 11 in seven innings in a 1-0 win in Philadelphia on May 6.

The Giants learned before the game that they would be without one of their best hitters this season, LaMonte Wade Jr., for an extended stretch. Wade suffered a grade 2 hamstring strain sliding into second base on Monday and will miss at least four weeks.

Philles third baseman Alec Bohm had a scheduled day off after committing two errors in Monday’s loss, according to manager Rob Thomson. Bohm was dealing with “general aches and pains” and pinch-hit in the 10th.

Thomson said before the game that he trusts the team’s defense and that Bohm sitting was not due to the defensive miscues. Bohm has four errors in his last seven games at third.

“That was just a weird game yesterday,” Thomson said. “He’s played really consistent. He’s really improved. I have no problems with him.”

TRAINER’S ROOM

Phillies: SS Trea Turner, who has a strained left hamstring, hit off a tee for the first time since the injury on Tuesday and hopes to play catch on Wednesday.

Giants: Howard and IF Trenton Brooks were called up from Triple-A Sacramento, with Brooks filling in for Wade at first base and Howard pitching out of the bullpen. … Utility player Tyler Fitzgerald was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento. … OF Ryan McKenna and LHP Drew Pomeranz were designated for assignment. … RHP Keaton Winn threw 45 pitches in a bullpen session on Monday and is close to returning, according to Melvin.

LHP Kyle Harrison (4-1, 3.90 ERA) pitches for the Giants against Cristopher Sanchez (2-3, 3.15 ERA) in the final game of the series.

Bets, lines and stats for Timberwolves-Mavericks Game 4

Tyler Fulghum explains the bets he has his eye on for Game 4 of the Timberwolves vs. Mavericks series. (0:58)

Will the Dallas Mavericks sweep the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night? This question is on the minds of many NBA fans, especially after watching the Boston Celtics dismantle the Indiana Pacers in four games to punch their ticket to the NBA Finals.

Maybe the pressure of facing elimination could drive the series back to a Game 5 in Minnesota. However, winning the series after going down 0-3 is, as all fans know, very unlikely. The Mavericks' success in clutch time has been the difference in this series. Desperate to avoid getting swept, Minnesota is likely to come out strong offensively on Tuesday night.

Without further ado, let's get into my best bets for Game 4.

Naz Reid over 16.5 points and rebounds (-130). With Karl-Anthony Towns struggling, Reid should see increased playing time Tuesday night, possibly exceeding 30 minutes on the court. Reid has surpassed this line in an impressive 94% of the 18 games this season where he has played 29 minutes or more. With Dereck Lively II ruled out for the Mavericks, the 6-foot-10 Reid should have even more rebounding opportunities.

Anthony Edwards over 39.5 points, rebounds and assists (-115). Edwards certainly has a promising career ahead of him, but let's face the harsh reality of the situation this young superstar is facing. NBA teams that trail 3-0 in a series have never come back to win, and we're talking about a sample size of nearly 160. Although Edwards has only surpassed this line once in the series, he commands a high usage rate, averaging 19.6 field goal attempts, 12.8 rebound chances and 11.8 potential assists in 40.2 minutes per game over his past five. Edwards is shooting a dreadful 37% from the floor over that span, but I expect him to be aggressive and efficient Tuesday night.

Luka Doncic over 48.5 points, rebounds, and assists (-110) and over 3.5 3-pointers made (Even). Doncic has surpassed this line in only one of the three games in this series. However, his overall postseason performance has been impressive -- 28.3 points, 9.0 assists, 9.3 rebounds, 3.1 triples,and 1.7 steals per game over 15 postseason games, playing an average of 42.0 minutes.

The Timberwolves have thrown everything at Doncic. They have doubled-teamed him, trapped him, switched defensive assignments on screens and off-ball movement, and even employed a drop-coverage approach where the defending player guarding the screener in a pick-and-roll scenario stays back near the basket to prevent drives to the rim. Despite those efforts, the Timberwolves have not found success.

Doncic and the Mavericks would rather not travel to Minnesota for Game 5, especially with the Celtics already resting. Anticipate yet another high-scoring affair, as every game in this series has exceeded the total.
