Off-Campus Housing

Off-campus Housing

The Office of Student Affairs provides assistance to students seeking off-campus housing accommodations. Since Penn State New Kensington is a nonresidential campus (commuter), the Office of Student Affairs can connect you with third-party vendors that provide nearby housing.

Due to our close proximity to Pittsburgh, students have plenty of housing options to choose from.  However, students choosing to live off campus should plan to have access to a car.

Nittany Highlands Apartments

The privately-owned Nittany Highlands Apartments are conveniently located across the street from the campus. Students touring the campus can request to tour the Nittany Highlands Apartments or you can email [email protected] to get information on the apartment complex.
