Is West Halls the best dorm at Penn State?

Students rated West Halls a 3.9/5 stars. Here's what they had to say.

I had a single with a bathroom, which there were only two of in my building. It was pretty bad with tiles falling off the bathroom wall, and it was about 100 square feet. But, it was insanely close to my classes, and I’ve always appreciated that. Can’t say I didn’t enjoy it but I wouldn’t do it again

Best location on campus, best food. Doesn't come close to renovated dorms. Full of freshmen. Common kitchen sucks.

Perfect for engineering students as all the classes are a brisk 5 minute walk. Definitely recommend to any student that likes peace and quiet in the dorm.

I loved my single in Hamilton. Super close to all my classes that semester and to the library which was great. I loved my huge window overlooking the courtyard next to Fiji and the heat was pretty good. I loved being so close to the dining commons and barely having to go outside to get there in the winter. It was pretty quiet and never had an issue. Only used the private bathrooms and there is rarely a wait, but some people left hair everywhere which was annoying. There’s a kitchen and hang out area in the basement and oilfield other study rooms throughout the building. Overall great place and I’ll miss it!!

Very close to most classes that anyone has. Single and double dorms have plenty of space and everyone is very friendly!
