Penn State University Sophomore Dorms Ranked

Number 5

"I lived with 3 other people and we each had our own room. The living room and kitchen were communal spaces as well as the bathroom but there was two people to a bathroom. There's laundry in unit which was very convenient and the bus stop for the red link was about a 2 minute walk and it has convenient stops like the library, IM building, forum building, etc. The area is a bit dietattched from campus though so for transportation it'll be nice to have a bike or something because it's long walks here." - 2 years ago

Number 4

"Living in Pollock my freshman year was horrible. The building was old and the rooms were extremely cramped. There was a self that took up half my bed and made my twin bed even smaller. I'd also hit the bed at night occasionally and I would wake up with a massive headache. The bathrooms were disgusting and lived in on an all girls floor. It was absolutely horrific and I'd always avoid using the bathrooms when I could. The floor had no bonding activities and I didn't learn a single other person's name expect for my roommate. My RA didn't care about anything and was almost impossible to reach. My roommate's boyfriend moved into the room and was intimate with my roommate when I was in the room. The boyfriend was also creepy and I was afraid he might touch my during inappropriately during the night. My roommate also refused to clean up after herself and would throw trash on my side of the room. She also used horrible language to me. I bought this up with my RA and the pollock residence office and was dismissed. I was forced to live with this girl who was a monster and could not switch until the semester ended." - 4 years ago

Number 3

"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!!" - 4 years ago

Number 2

"I lived here as a junior transferring from a branch campus. I lived in a two bedroom and lived with three friends. I had so much fun living there. In addition to two basic bedrooms, a bathroom with a double vanity and basic living room with dated furniture, the apartment had a kitchen with a fridge and stove (no microwave) but we never used it. We all had meal plans and just ate in the dining hall. We all had dinner together just about every night. Great times.
The apartment is by no means gorgeous, but your apartment is located on a college campus. What are you expecting? Just have fun." - 4 years ago
