Although Penn State Wilkes-Barre does not have on-campus University-owned housing available for students, there are a wide range of private rental units where students can live while attending our campus. Please select “Listings” to the left to see a listing of available options.
Whether an off-campus resident or a commuter, you can dine at the Hickory Court Café located in the Student Commons, or at the Reese CyberCafé in the Academic Commons; various menus are available. You have several options for paying for meals on campus:
- use Lion Cash (save 10% on all prepared foods!)
- sign up for our meal plan (if you are living away from home)
- pay cash-as-you-go
