After I accepted my offer to Penn State, I started looking
at the areas that freshmen typically live. As a wannabe engineer, I knew that I
wanted to have a place that was about studying but I still wanted to have fun.
I was in no way living in a completely boring place where people just studied all
day. I had to avoid any boring dorms AT ALL COSTS. By looking online at Penn
State’s dorms, I found that there were special living options for engineering
freshmen in East, Pollock, and West Dorms.
Like Goldilocks, I “tried out” all the different living
options in my head.
In East, I could live
in the Freshman Year in Science and Engineering (FISE) House and get the entire
“freshman experience” and still live on a floor designated for science majors.
In Pollock, I could live in the EASI (Engineering Applied
Science and Interest) House, a.k.a.
a cool place where people who like math and
science live.
In
West, I looked at the Engineering House. I could live with people of all
engineering majors of all years. I was interested so I clicked more links to
find out more. There are social
activities and three study lounges. Personally, I was completely sold on the
social and study aspects of E-House.
I went on to live in E-House for two years! Looking back, E-House
gave me some of the greatest times that I’ve ever had. From studying with some
feisty engineers when I needed help to getting pushed really fast in wheeled
chairs in E-House’s long hallways my friends, E-House was a fantastic place for
me as I got to study when I needed to and got to go have tons of fun in my free
time.
