Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Hazleton

What are the popular events and traditions at Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Hazleton?

Penn State Hazleton's recurring campus life includes orientation, student-organization programming, athletics events and Penn State's wider traditions of student engagement and service. Individual event names, schedules and formats can change, so a past event should not be assumed to recur in a particular term.

Penn State's THON fundraising effort is a university-wide tradition in which students from Commonwealth campuses can participate; the main dance marathon is not a Hazleton-hosted event. Campus-level fundraising and other activities give participating students a way to connect with that broader Penn State community. For the events a new student could actually attend at Hazleton, the current campus calendar and student-activities schedule are more useful than a historical list.

What are the student housing and dining options at Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Hazleton?

Penn State Hazleton offers college-operated, coeducational undergraduate housing and campus dining. Housing is an option, not something applicants should assume is automatically assigned; prospective residents need to follow Penn State's housing acceptance and contract process and check the applicable dates.

Residence-hall living can reduce a student's daily commute, while living at home or off campus may offer a different cost and transportation balance. Students should compare the housing contract, room type, meal-plan terms and break-period rules before accepting an offer. Campus dining and meal plans should likewise be evaluated against actual class schedules and dietary needs, especially for commuters who may spend only part of the day on campus.
