[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was accepted (University Park). He will likely enroll. Two questions:
1) Beneath his acceptance letter in the mypennstate.psu.edu portal there is a blue button reading "Accept your Offer of Admission". We've been hesitant to click it because he's not quite ready to commit. But wondering if clicking takes us to a new page/section that provides useful info that we should check out. I have to assume clicking one button won't suddenly commit my son, but nevertheless, we're hesitant to click it! 
2) Any insight about housing/dorms? Do you have to formally accept and enroll to gain access to housing or is it a separate process?

Thanks.  [/quote]

I can't answer question number one.  Sorry

As for question number two, yes you have to accept the offer from PSU.  Then, at some point, you need to apply to housing.  PSU states that Freshman housing is a lottery.  In my experience, the kids that accept offers late in the process get the worst dorms.  If you are assigned supplemental housing it is beyond belief.  6-8 boys in a dorm room is insane.  [/quote]

Actually it really is random.  DS accepted early January and got Pollock.  His friend accepted in early April and got East. The only people with priority are athletes near their practice areas. I also read several students who accepted and paid deposit in November and got supplemental in Pollock. 🤷‍♀️[/quote]
