McElwain Dorm Reviews at Penn State

This hall was very homey. I was very blessed to be in one of the few dorms that had their own bathroom, so the communal bathrooms. we not much of an issue with me. The location was great, close to a lot of classes, and right by downtown! The south and pollock dining areas were the best on campus! They had a good variety, even though the food was mediocre, it was. good compared to other colleges. The dorm is also very close to the student union HUB, so that was a great place to study when needed :)

The rooms are the biggest on campus which is really nice. The location is pretty close to classes and downtown. Also there is easy access to both of the best dining halls on campus (Pollock & Redifer).

very good location on campus since it's right in the middle. There are sometimes bats that get into the building, but other than that, the building is great. There's even a game room on one of the floors

This was my favorite hall to live in on the campus. I used the "K floor" for my showering and bathroom needs, which was fantastic! I was able to have a private bathroom rather than using a typical dorm bathroom. I also benefitted from the kitchen that was available for rental. My roommates and I would do "family dinners" together and showcase something we would make at home prior to college. I lived in a supplemental so we came from all different areas and countries. It was fun to learn!
