Рет қаралды 15,070
Күн бұрынToday I wanted to do a Penn State Pollock dorm tour for incoming freshman! I remember when I got assigned pollock I was really upset (they’re pretty old and outdated) but it actually ended up working out for the best and I love it here!!💗

I was in Porter Hall my freshman year way back in 2006. The dorms look exactly the same. So much nostalgia.❤

You rock Zoe. I lived in Pollack for three years in the early 90s and loved it, but needed something other than blueprints to convince my incoming Freshman daughter '27 of all the cool features. Signed the contract with Pollack in the #1 spot after this. Well done.

Awesome dorm tour! Gr8 video editing and i like the way u filmed on a bright day for overall better lighting! Do you think not living in east renovated for the first year takes away from college experience? Can you also make a video about on campus jobs?
@collegeadvicewithzoe 2 жыл бұрын
I definitely think I got a better freshman college experience living in Pollock! I got to know and become friends with a lot of girls on my floor (and that really helped in the beginning of the year). I will also definitely try to make a video about on campus jobs soon!

Just got into Pollock… there’s a lot more I have to buy now. So I was wondering, where’d you get your bed risers? Also, are we allowed to hang things on the front of the doors?
@collegeadvicewithzoe Жыл бұрын
I got my bed risers from Amazon and they were stackable so you could make them shorter or taller! I don’t remember anyone hanging anything except white board on the front of the doors.

How is the temperature in Pollock throughout the year. I am assigned there and I’ve heard the temperature fluctuates drastically throughout the year. This really concerns me because I do not do well in hot temperatures and I get extremely tired in cold temperatures.
@collegeadvicewithzoe Жыл бұрын
Pollock just gets pretty hot the first few weeks back in august and early September. I recommend having 3-4 fans. After those few weeks, they have heating when it gets colder!

Honestly I don’t remember which size my roommate bought, the dorms are pretty small so I would probably go with the smaller size!

Hi! I think that size for a dresser should be good. I would maybe suggest getting a 3 tier rolling cart instead. I used it for storage as well as an en table!

If you are in pollock, the bolsters depend on the building you are in. Some have them and some don’t!

Is single room the best option in Pollock?
@collegeadvicewithzoe 2 жыл бұрын
Not many people are able to get a single room as a freshman. When single rooms are given out, they're normally for students who need specific accommodations. Most freshman are put into a double with one other roommate!
