About Student Housing in State College
State College is a borough in Centre County in central Pennsylvania with a permanent population of approximately 42,000, a figure that nearly doubles during the academic year when Penn State University is in session. Penn State's main campus sits at the heart of the borough and drives virtually every aspect of the local economy, housing market, and community culture. State College is home to South Hills School of Business and Technology and various Penn State Health-affiliated programs in addition to the university itself. The downtown core along College Avenue and Allen Street offers an active mix of restaurants, shops, and entertainment that gives State College more urban energy than most central Pennsylvania communities. The area is surrounded by rolling valleys and state forest land, providing easy access to outdoor recreation year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions: Student Housing in State College
Common questions from students searching for housing.
Penn State University enrolls approximately 45,000 students who all need housing, and the borough is geographically constrained by state forest land and zoning limits. This supply and demand imbalance means landlords can lease units very early and rents remain high relative to the rest of central Pennsylvania.
