<p>I’m looking for some suggestions as to what dorm I should be staying in as a freshman. I’m actually enrolled in the Penn State Golf Management program, so I’m going to be spending a good amount of time on the west side on the course. </p>
<p>However, it seems like the West dorms are not aimed towards freshman. I want to sorround myself with a good amount of freshman, but I don’t want it to be a hassle every time I need to get to the course. I guess what I’m trying to ask is A) Are the West dorms freshman friendly? and B) If not, how much trouble is it to get from East to the West side with a golf bag? </p>
<p>Any suggestions are appreciated.</p>
<p>They have a golf course at psu?</p>
<p>Dude, if you want attractive girlies, come to penn state. Seriously, 7 out of every ten girls here are simply stunning(a lot of blondes); two are average, and one is barely ok. Seriously, I have not seen any female who is just plain ugly. Too bad those girls are way beyond my reach–the latin charm is a myth. Having a spanish accent doesn’t do crap, either.</p>
<p>Also, I dorm in the west and was a midyear transfer(fresh). In my case, the people didn’t seem very inclined to introduce themselves or befriend me. Then again, I came here in the spring and don’t know how it is in the fall. Basically, penn state has been admitting a ton of students each year and the halls are very overcrowded (700 kids in supp housing this semester!!!). Basically, there isn’t anything like a freshman dorm at the time. People are pretty much sorted out randomly(in the contract, they say they will put you with someone from your major, but trust me, there is no mathing. So, just pick the location that is more convinient for you. For example, the west halls are located closest to fresh classes, and the south halls appear to be quieter. If you choose a west dorm, make sure you take the initiative to attend events and meet freshmen because most people here appear to have formed their little groups already.</p>
<p>it is quite friendly in the fall semester. everyone’s looking to make new friends so it works out well. </p>
<p>If most of your classes are gonna be on the west side of campus, i’d recommend living in west halls. Besides, West has the best food. If you want to have a good time (partying, socializing) then East is the best place to go. However, I wouldn’t say West is completely anti-social either.</p>
<p>Actally west has the third best food, McElwain has the best followed by Simmons. West is just the best one that is a large dinning hall.</p>
<p>are you serious? McElwain is disgusting. Simmons is alright.</p>
<p>is there any deadline for SLO (specical living option) requests for freshman?</p>
<p>I believe McElwain was voted number one dining hall this semester, but the west hall is really popular and has more variety.</p>
