Some Penn State students call the luxurious high rises in downtown State College their homes. From the RISE at State College to the HERE State College, these apartments are filled with amenities and unique things to do.
Despite higher rent prices than other locations in State College, some students are still drawn to the buildings.
Matthew Lipchik, who plans on living at the RISE in fall 2021, is excited to be in close proximity to campus.
âThere really arenât that many other apartments that are close to campus,â Lipchik (freshman-division of undergraduate studies) said.
Lipchik said he may miss out on using the full amenities at the RISE, but itâs not something âunexpectedâ with the pandemic going on.
