With Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s announcement today (May 22) of additional counties moving to yellow phase over the next two weeks, students residing in those counties can now begin scheduling a move-out date from their on-campus residence halls. A number of Penn State campuses will also begin scheduling students for move out.
Penn State students who commute to campus or live in on-campus apartments have a convenient option for grabbing a meal or a snack: the Commuter Meal Plan. The plan, which is charged to the student account, has recently been expanded to three levels and is now offered at additional Penn State locations.
The Penn Stater featured five Mont Alto students in its "Move-In Day" article, including sophomore Aby Abraham from Baltimore, Md. and freshman students Bryce Bartolacci from Wind Gap, Pa., Cara Burgan from Hagerstown, Md., and Danielle Laureta from Annapolis, Md.
I’m an orientation leader, and I was pretty tired from moving people in. It was pretty hot, with little bursts of heavy rain. It actually made it 10 times more fun. All of the orientation leaders decided to have a dance party in the rain, and it just made us more excited to move in the other students. ― Sophomore Danielle Laureta from Annapolis, Md.
As soon as I got here, everybody was really welcoming. I felt like it was going to be my home within seconds. It was only when my parents left that I felt the lingering feelings of sadness. Those soon went away when I went to visit one of the girls who went to my high school. After that, I was totally fine. ― First-year student Cara Burgan from Hagerstown, Md.
I’m on the soccer team, so I had to move in a couple days early. I ended up helping the other freshmen settle in. Last year, when I was a freshman, I had a lot of stuff to move, but with people helping us, it made things go by a lot faster. It felt cool to help people with that this year. ― Sophomore Aby Abraham from Baltimore, Md.
Students who are new to Penn State and all students living in University housing are reminded that they must submit their immunization records using myUHS through a new three-step process. As part of this process, students who do not submit their immunization records prior to Sept. 15 will be unable to register for spring 2017 classes.
