Break housing for international students

Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State

<p>Hey guys, I'm an incoming international student and I'm still unsure whether or not I want to choose Break Access Housing. For this SLO, the school only assigns the following dorms: Pollock Housing Area (Hartranft, Mifflin), South Halls (McElwain), and Eastview Terrace (Miller, Young). My concern is that I might miss out on the freshman experience by not choosing East... </p>

<p>Is there a lot of international kids in East? If so, what do they usually do during university breaks such as thanksgiving, when the dorms are closed?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you don’t live in break housing, you have to live elsewhere for Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks; a friend’s apartment or a hotel, or you fly home.</p>

<p>Pollock and South have plenty of freshmen, and the location is better than East. (Freshmen aren’t assigned to Eastview, so it’s not really a choice for you) You’ll be fine in either place.</p>
