Pollock Halls Penn State Reviews

pros: LOCATION and best dining hall by far cons: smallest dorms, bathroom doesn’t always get cleaned, unrenovated, location is good but south hall is in the same place but bigger dorms

The location is awesome. Only a couple of minutes away from most places However the building was very old. The elevators were haunted. There was broken furniture everywhere... The bathrooms (on my floor) were relatively clean and the people on my floor wanted to keep things nice. Cleaners came in e... See more

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.

Lived in Beaver. Rooms were kinda small. Bathroom was also a bit small as well. Overall pretty meh.

Good location, just 5 mins from the HUB. Bathrooms were not good, my floor barely had any hot water in the winter, other floors only had scalding hot water. Rooms were meh, small but you probably won't spend too much time in there. Study rooms and laundry rooms are on every other floor. The dining h... See more
