<p>I’d say go for Pollock or South is you want to study. My D is somewhat of a partier but had issues with the shenanigans going on in East first semester and moved to Pollock for second semester.</p>

<p>There is no room in most dorm rooms for any ‘extra’ furniture. Many of the girls bring over the bed shelving for extra room see: <a href=“http://canada.lnt.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2362284&cp=1331609.1331971.2795113[/url]”>http://canada.lnt.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2362284&cp=1331609.1331971.2795113&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Boys tend not to bring too, other than a rug (4X6 will fit in all rooms; don’t buy a rug bigger than that or it may not fit). A dark colored rug is better.</p>

<p>State College is cold for more than 6 months of the year, so bring plenty of winter clothes, including a heavy winter coat. My D presently has very few spring clothes up there now; I am travelling up there later this month to exchange the winter for spring clothes, which she will wear for what is left of the semester.</p>

<p>Don’t plan on buying to much for your dorm room. Most rooms are small and storage is a problem.Storage shelving units, storage under the bed, bed risers are all good. It’s cold and you do a lot of walking. Good shoes,warm boots, and winter gear.</p>

<p>Most of that is done in freshman testing when your on campus. It is good to go as early as you can, especially for scheduling.</p>

<p>FTCAP testing postcards are sent out in order of students acceptances of admission. Dates available for on campus FTCAP evaluation and registration are based on the date the student completes his/her FTCAP testing. So, the sooner one turns in the acceptance of admission with deposits, the sooner one receives the postcard for FTCAP testing. The sooner one completes FTCAP testing, the sooner one can schedule on campus FTCAP day and scheduling. The sooner one schedules, the more options are available for couse selections.</p>

<p>qtip - my son is in East. The reputation for craziness exceeds the reality. Don;t get hung on that point. East is a fine place to live.</p>
