LiveOn Housing Process
The LiveOn Housing Process is for current Penn State students (this includes first-year students who are currently living on campus) who are interested in living on campus for the next academic year. The LiveOn Housing Process is managed through the eLiving system. There is a different process for incoming first-year students.
