I feel like I should mention I go to the Main Campus of Penn State!!!! I don’t know anything about the branch campuses :(
Which campus is this?
@@khaliesemcreynolds2869 main campus!
i love these penn state videos
Omg I’m so glad 🥺💙
OMG, thank you so much for making this video! I have been waiting so long. It's crazy because a few days ago I was predicting that you would make this video!
Yay so glad you liked it!
I got accepted into Penn State for landscape architecture and will attending in the fall! I’m so excited and it’s been my dream school since I was little and I’ve been there multiple times for Penn State football games.
That’s so exciting!!! Welcome to the psu family!!
i’m going for landscape architecture too!!
@@shellysobel_ Really?! I haven’t found anyone else going Into that major!
@@janeelynn6676 yeah! join the penn state class of 2025 page on insta & we have a bunch of group chats you can join!
@@shellysobel_ I’m on that already. I had them post something for me a couple of days ago:)
Im already a Penn State student and im watching this 😂
Omg love that 😂
same
Is it difficult to get into penn state?
@@doozy.5494 it's an ivy League but I think one of the low ranked ones so it should be fairly hard but not toooo hard
@@manaal.4886 i don’t think penn state is an ivy i think it’s UPenn that is
gonna be a freshman in the fall!! cant wait!
OMG YAY that’s so exciting!!
Same see ya
What I liked about the dorms is that I didn't have to worry about anything. I slept, I ate, I showered, I went to class, I studied, and then I started all over the next day. Yeah, every so often we went to the gym to play basketball or threw the football around, but that was about it. I was an engineering student, so it was pretty intense. It took a lot of time and work to get through it.
What engineering did you do? I’m doing engineering and was wondering if Penn states a good choice. I am already accepted but don’t want to commit yet.
Your videos are so freaking helpful omg!
Yay I’m so glad!!!
loved this!!!
Thanks girl ❤️❤️

@@KaylaMarieVids Thank you!
Your videos are so helpful!
the way I go to a whole texas university and still watch this lmaoo
omg hahaha love that
Idk why I watched this whole video when I literally go to penn state LOL I’m excited to be back they’re finally letting us move back in the dorms next week! East halls is the best I highly recommend it!! The social life is amazing there especially on weekends
Omg so glad you guys get to move back in soon yay!! East is truly the best I miss it :(
Off topic but you're so pretty, I love your eyes
Going to Penn state in the fall and I’ve talked to housing a lot and I got to request Atherton which is amazing because I’m definitely a quiet kid (and I get a relatively nice dorm with pod style bathrooms). My roommate and I are already super excited
That's amazing that they have pod styled bathrooms in there I didn't know that!! Welcome to the psu family :)
I lived in Pollock my Freshman year and LOVED it! It's not boujee or anything but the location is amazing and pretty much my entire building was freshman. Also the dining hall is superior ngl
Yess honestly I always would go to pollock for dinners!!
you guys were so lucky to live in the east renovated dorms... when i was in east (I'm a senior now), all the dorms were unrenovated except for Findlay.. and yeah it's not fun lol. Also my entire freshman year the quad area was construction - east is definitely a nicer area nowadays hahaha
East definitely looks SO different now!! Every year it changes so so much its wild
Aww I live in Pinchot!! I love it sm
OMG no way ahhh the best dorm
I want to go to Penn State so bad! It's been my dream school for months!!
Yess love that
i currently live in east unrenovated and it's really not that bad it's sooo worth it to be living in east!! the only thing i will say is that it's annoying not having the nice study spaces on the ground floor but it won't be as annoying in the future when classes aren't on zoom!! :)
omg where do you live? i’m in east renovated!
Yess honestly I feel like living in east is such a great experience no matter which dorm🥺💙
I'm a freshman and I'm in west, omg the renovated ones in other areas are so nice, I love my area, but the dorm I live in is so old and most of the stuff in the room is really hard to close and open and super loud, im kinda jealous of the renovated rooms
At least you guys have one of the best dinning halls!!
Great video
Thank you!!
omg thank you for this🙏 also is it bad to go random for a roommate? ive heard some bad stories about doing that, but i literally know no one who is going to penn state
I went random and it was okay!! Definitely not the BEST but totally bearable
This is my dream collage and I really want this to be me someday
I got info for aid and I got into the main campus. The price is tight and I’m still unsure if I want to go to Penn, even though I enjoy the butt load of options that Penn offers! Ugh!
What is the process of picking classes like? For example when do you pick classes and how do you know which ones are good with good professors? Also I ask a lot of questions because you are so helpful.
Usually you will pick out your first semester of classes at Freshman Orientation in the spring! You have the opportunity to meet with academic advisors in your intended major and they help you find what works for you :) I know a lot of students use the rate my professor website to see if a professor is "good", but I rarely use it because sometimes its not always accurate!
@@KaylaMarieVids Thank you so much 😊
If you want to buy chick fil a or Starbucks does that count as meal plan points? Also, are those branch restaurants just in the hub or also in the dining halls?
Yes!!! You can buy it with your dining money!! The hub has most of those retail restaurants, but some dining halls coffee bars will serve Starbucks as well :)
Heeey Kayla, I have a question. Do you happen to know anything about the FISE program? It’s like some sort of STEM-focused living?
I haven’t heard of that unfortunately! I bet they have someone to contact on the housing website like an RA or advisor!
got accepted for mechanical engineering at university park, which residence hall is closest to the engineering buidings ?
so after you send in your deposit do u get to request where you want to dorm wether it be east, north, etc? and if u commit early do u get to pick wether u go to a renovated place or older place?
^^^!!
After you make your deposit you choose your preferences for locations! This year they are doing things differently and instead of first come first serve, it will be random if you get renovated or unrenovated to make it more fair which is great!
I would also like to mention that the Nittany Lion Inn is a housing option for upperclassman! I am going to be a senior next year as well and opted for the King Size single room in the Inn for 2021-2022 c:
That’s super interesting! I had no idea :)
@@KaylaMarieVids I didn't know either until this past October/November when signing up for 2021-2022 housing! I couldn't pass up a chance to have a king size bed in a HOTEL which is basically the same price as a single dorm on campus, surprisingly!
I’m also a junior at penn state, and I agree w most of what you said! Here’s some additions for anyone else looking at dorms that I thought to add:
The best commons are the east, pollock, and south commons. West isn’t bad, but north commons is dingy and super small.
If you’re an engineering student (assuming in person classes come back) North or West are definitely the shortest walk to where most of your classes will be.
If you want the traditional freshman college experience, highly recommend living in east. I never lived in east, I was a north freshman, and I regret not getting that wild freshman experience in east.
Pollock is definitely the most run down dorms on campus. Even though West are the oldest dorms, they are pretty well maintained. Being inside one of the pollock dorms to visit a friend felt very cramped and kinda felt like being on a submarine, with pipes visible along the ceiling and narrow walls.
If you wanna be close to downtown, south is definitely the way to go. South is also a really nice part of the campus, and south is also where the schreyer honors students live (in atherton hall, i believe)
Definitely try to avoid supplemental housing at all costs. It’s usually 4-8 people living in a pretty confined space. Unless that’s something you’re interested in
If you’re a freshman, don’t be afraid to make friends, especially if you’re more introverted. It took me til my sophomore year to make really close friends, and I regret not doing it from day one. The friends I’ve met at penn state are probably going to be lifelong friends.
I'm looking at living in North in the fall, would you recommend it? I'm between it and East. Personally, having the rowdy freshman experience isn't too important for me, but was it still fun?
@@hollydeemer2132 I am currently living in North right now. North is usually 2-4 roommates suite style, which means you share a bathroom with 1-3 other people instead of a whole floor. You also will likely share a bedroom with one other person, with a common area in between which connects to another bedroom and the shared bathroom. North is a lot closer to classroom buildings than east, but you still have to walk uphill from down town to north. However, north is quiet compared to other areas of the campus. North has a really shitty commons (smallest on campus) so i would recommend walking to west for food when you can (although the market at north isn’t too bad). Robinson is for freshmen only, but I believe all the other buildings at north are renovated and have air conditioning in each room. I have only ever lived in Beam Hall at north, so I can’t say for the others for sure, but I’m 90% sure they are. I really like north as a housing area, it’s pretty peaceful here and relaxing and it’s a pretty decent area imo. Would recommend north especially if you have 3 other friends you want to room with, as being stuck with 3 random roommates might not be what everyone wants. If you’re lucky, you might get a room with no other roommates or only one, but since in person learning comes back next semester campus will likely be more packed than it is now. If privacy in the bathroom and quiet is important to you, i would say north is by far your best option (or maybe eastview terrace).
@@hollydeemer2132 in terms of north being fun, it depends on what you mean by fun. You probably won’t meet any of your neighbors and will only really talk to the RA and the people that live in your suite, so if you are looking for a whole friendly floor experience, you might not find it in north unless you apply to live an in SLO. People in north generally seem to keep to themselves. There’s also a lot of music kids in north
@@JTdude63452 Thank you! I was looking into the LionLaunchpad SLO as well. I appreciate your reply, hopefully I make the right decision
@@JTdude63452 Thank you! I was looking into the LionLaunchpad SLO as well. I appreciate your reply, hopefully I make the right decision
what dorm do you recommend for a junior? I come from one of the branch campuses and I'm currently going into my junior year
If you want to live on campus I'd recommend checking out Eastview Terrace, south halls, or Nittany apartments! I find that most upperclassman live in those two areas the most!
What are the names of the halls in the North hall
how do we join those pennstate groupchats?
Do you know which dorm lives closest to the eduction academic buildings?
West and North are very very close! However, east is a short walk to chambers as well which is the main college of education building!
Simmons used to have a great dining commons.
You sound like you're gonna be depressed once you graduate and have to move out of Happy Valley; I was.
HAHAHA yes I totally will be :(
does main campus = university park?
Yes it does!
