      Off-campus Housing

      The Office of Student Affairs provides assistance to students seeking off-campus housing accommodations. Since Penn State New Kensington does not have University-owned housing, the Office of Student Affairs can connect you with third-party vendors that provide nearby housing. Options include the Nittany Highlands Apartments, a privately-owned complex adjacent to campus and rented only to campus students.

      Due to our close proximity to Pittsburgh, students have plenty of housing options to consider. Students choosing to live off-campus should plan to have reliable transportation to and from campus.
