Campus Housing

Make Yourself At Home

Part of life at Penn State is where you eat, where you sleep, and who you hang out with. It's what we call "Residence Life." Think of it as one of the aspects of Penn State that turns a campus into a community. Your community. Whether you're living on or off campus, we cultivate that sense of community through spaces on campus where students can meet and mingle. So, meet the neighbors. Grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. And make yourself at home. 

Orchard Hall - On-campus Housing

Orchard Hall, the newly constructed residence, offers comfortable and modern student housing conveniently located on campus. Students living in the new hall will share a double room with one roommate and have access to private bathrooms.
