Moving to University Park
Many Smeal College students begin their business education at Penn State locations other than University Park. Students enrolled in majors in the Smeal College of Business are expected to attend University Park to complete their junior and senior years. The Smeal College acknowledges this transition poses challenges to students. The following information is provided to assist with this transition.
Housing Options
Once approved for a change of campus location to University Park, you will need to make housing arrangements. Most students have the option of living on- or off-campus. For information about on campus housing, visit the Housing and Food Services Web site. Information on off campus living may be obtained by visiting the Office of Off-Campus Living.
Visiting University Park
You are encouraged to visit University Park prior to your relocation. Visiting students may want to schedule an appointment to meet with a Smeal academic adviser. To arrange for a visit, please contact the Smeal Undergraduate Advising Center at 814-863-1947.
Maps and Parking
A visitor's guide is available online. It includes a campus map, directions to University Park and an interactive parking guide.
