White Course Apartments ~ Single Room Apartments

Thanks to a fellow living at White Course Apartments, we have some photos to share of the single room apartments. I am sorry that I do not have a photo of the bedroom area. It is a single size bed that includes a mattress. Bedrooms also include a dresser, closet and desk for your use during the year. The internet access is located in each bedroom for each resident. Each bedroom includes a window so that you can enjoy the lovely view each day.

A Beautiful Spring Day

The trees and grass are very green. The campus is 450 acres from one end to the other. The Humphrey Office is located in Chambers Bldg. which is next to Pattee Library as well as most of the building where your courses will be held. From on-campus housing, you can see the bus stop is no more than 2 bus stops from your office on-campus. I have also included some photos of the downtown ~ State College, PA. The main campus is surrounded by the borough of State College. Please check the link on the left ~ State College.com. If you have any questions, please write to Leila Bradaschia or Jane Reese. We are happy to answer any questions you might have.
