    Rated 3.9 / 5 stars by 9 Penn State students

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

    Rated 4.1 / 5 stars by 6 Penn State students

    "You get your own room and bathroom. plenty of space for one person. Building is super quiet because most people keep to themselves. Laundry is free, there’s indoor bike storage, and 3 rooms on each floor (one for each wing) with a conference table which was amazing to study in. Only downsides are the location and it can get lonely if you don’t know anyone"

    "Lived here on my sorority floor but would highly recommend South halls even if you’re not in one! It’s definitely the nicest and newest dorm on campus and has AC/heater. In my opinion they’re the best dorms on campus"

    "I lived in a suite and it was really nice, only thing is that some of the furniture was a little beat up. It still worked but sometimes a drawer would get stuck which would be annoying. The food at North is kind of underrated and even though it’s small, the food was is better than people make it out to be. The location on campus was great, it’s centrally located and doesn’t take long to walk anywhere. Only thing is that since North is pretty small and most of my friends were in other housing areas so get used to walking to them. North is known to be pretty quiet, and although this is true most of the time there are still a few times that it has gotten crazy. Also, the quiet was actually pretty nice during the weekdays when I needed to study and get work done."

    "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."
