Many of our students live off campus, whether in their familial home, 住宅综合体, or an apartment with a lease. We understand that some first-year students prefer to live on campus, but our on-campus housing interest exceeds the spaces available. When on-campus housing is filled, students may be added to the housing waitlist. Waitlist students are not required to live on campus if housing becomes available later.
Information regarding off-campus housing—some within walking distance of campus—is available through a private provider web page. Students on the housing waitlist may want to consider off-campus housing as a supplemental housing plan through the Cooperative Agreement lease option offered by several landlords. For additional information, visit 阿尔图纳 Student Housing and click on Student Housing Co-op Lease Providers.
校外生活 Reminders
Student Vehicles on Campus
All 十大网投平台信誉排行榜阿尔图纳分校 students, including First-year students, are permitted to have vehicles on campus, per 十大网投平台信誉排行榜阿尔图纳分校 parking policies. Learn more about parking on-campus.
Campus 设施/Support Services
Students living off-campus have access to the same campus facilities and support services as the students who live on campus. At 十大网投平台信誉排行榜阿尔图纳分校, we do not distinguish any services based on where someone lives. So, Ivyside Eats Food Pantry, Adler Athletic Complex, Sheetz Family 健康与福利 Center, Eiche图书馆, 计算机中心, 所有学生活动, 和组织, 等. are for our off-campus and commuter students too!
Paying for 校外生活 Expenses
For financial aid purposes, the estimated cost of education for all students who are not commuting from home includes a housing and food allowance equal to the on-campus housing and food charges. Financial aid exceeding direct Penn State charges, such as tuition and fees, is deposited directly into a student's checking or savings account. These funds can be applied to off-campus living expenses such as rent, utilities, food, 等. Financial aid programs do not require documentation of off-campus living expense payments. Details regarding the refunding of financial aid exceeding direct charges are available on the Office of the Bursar website.
LionCash +
Students living off-campus may also choose to use the flexibility of LionCash + with their 宾州州立大学的身份证 as an alternative to or in conjunction with the 校园膳食计划.

校园膳食计划
Students living off-campus may purchase a 校园膳食计划 through the Housing and Food Service Office.
