The Pennsylvania State University is a public state-related land-grant research university.

University Housing caters to all students. First-years live in suites and rooms in traditional and renovated halls. Upper-class students choose from traditional halls, suites, single rooms, and apartments. Graduate students and those with families can opt for White Course Apartments.

East Halls offers a range of experiences, largely divided by whether the dorms are renovated or unrenovated. Renovated dorms boast modern amenities like AC, private bathrooms, and newer furniture. Unrenovated buildings, featuring communal bathrooms and no AC, offer a traditional college experience with a touch of character and larger desk and storage space. The location is a mixed blessing; proximity to sports venues and dining options like the Creamery, IM building, and Findlay Commons is convenient, while some students find the distance to academic buildings and the hub challenging. Noise levels can be high, especially near the football stadium and during tailgating. Social life is vibrant, with many opportunities to meet fellow freshmen, though noise and partying can affect study and rest. Overall, East Halls provides a quintessential freshman community with varying comfort levels depending on the renovation status of the building.
