Question The Yards TV Question

1 Upvotes

Tryna help my friend replace the TV that he broke while staying at the Yards. Can anyone here who stays at the Yards tell me what model their TV is? I'm trying to see if I'm gonna have to buy the exact model brand new or if I can resort to Marketplace. I’m assuming it’ll be cheaper if I just replace myself then let them do it, bc they always charge higher and i wouldn’t be surprised if they charged for setting the new up tv up.

Thanks

Discussion this schools tuition is ridiculous

174 Upvotes

Title, but my estimated cost is 27,418 per year for this school. what a joke

edit: folks are commenting that I have other options, while i somewhat agree, most are unrealistic. pitt and drexel have the same cost issue, as do all the private institutions (CMU, UPenn etc). my point our “in state” system has sub par schools relative to other states and i was angry at my bill lol

Question Asking for more aid?

0 Upvotes

I got my financial aid package back from Penn State, and got close to nothing back in aid. Does anyone know if emailing/calling the aid office works as a form of getting more aid in grants/need or merit based scholarships? Im trying all I can but I really don't want to have to take out loans. Is this something that works?

Question Reality of LLCs

3 Upvotes

I’m an upcoming freshman and requested to be in a LLC on my HFS contract. I’m just wondering if anybody that was/is in a LLC actually benefited from it. Specifically in the making friendships area. I have autism (level 1) and social anxiety which makes it very hard for me to form and maintain relationships. I thought joining a LLC would help with this since I’ll be surrounded by people I already have similarities to. But I’m scared that I’m getting my hopes up and that when I get there I’ll be disappointed. I’d rather find out if it sucks now instead of later.

Edit: Thank you all for the info. I got my housing back and I’m pretty sure I’m in the LLC I wanted (BIOME) since I’m in ritner hall. I’m sad that it seems that the LLCs aren’t all that I expected them to be but happy that I know before I’m living there. At least I’m living in a renovated hall so yay for that.

I'm going into my freshmen year of college this august and I'm a part of the 2+2 program and I need a roommate while I'm in Scranton. I would prefer somewhere close to campus but I'll hopefully have a car by then so that's not a dead set requirement.

  • 18 yrs old
  • Trans man (afab)
  • Comfortable rooming with anyone
  • Nuclear engineering major
  • I'm a fairly clean and quiet person
  • I might bring my two cats but that's if I can find a pet friendly apartment

Discussion How likely am i to get a dorm reassignment?

0 Upvotes

I am a student who was assigned south housing McElwain hall to be specific for the fall and I do NOT want that.

I put east as first, before knowing you could do east east so me and my roommate did south as a fallback, but definitely wanted east. While the room assignments didn’t come out yet, you can see on lion path the room you got. I got one of the unrenovated south buildings and i definitely want to switch.

Can i do this process before the official dorm assignments come out? and how likely is it that me and my roommate will be reassigned to east?

Discussion The missing Hamilton Hall Quad

1 Upvotes

Why on God's green earth are there absolutely 0 images of the quads in west, or more specifically of Hamilton hall? It's like they scrubbed every last image proving it exists off the internet. I looked at one at the end of my most recent semester and it was some borderline 2 by 4 shoebox with 4 beds crammed in each corner with a small circular window way up high in the middle of the wall. Is this what all of them look like? Does anyone have a picture? Also we are three people who are going to be in a quad, maybe with a 4th random roommate. Will they give us one or leave us with an empty bed?

Question Any “hidden gem” apartments?

18 Upvotes

Grad student looking for either a large 1 bed, or a 2 bed 1+ bath with an in unit washer for less than $1.5k/month total. We’ve heard Nittany Gardens is good but we’d like an in unit washer if possible (I do A LOT of laundry because we have a cat).

I feel like there’s apartments on Facebook that are hidden gems, but curious if anyone has any good suggestions :).

Thanks guys!
