Can my student change dorm rooms? Can they get a single? There are concerns with the roommate(s)

住宅生活 strives to support conditions where students can live, 学习, and grow together—but we understand that not all roommates will be a perfect match.  We start each year with roommate agreements—a 2-part process involving a self-reflection about living expectations, followed by a meeting with all roommates facilitated by a member of the 住宅生活 staff.  If a student is struggling with their roommate(s)/living situation, they can reach out to their Community Advisor (“CA”-student/peer staff) or Community Director (“CD”-professional staff).  The staff member will work with your student, facilitate a mediation, and assist should a change need to be made. 

经常, there may not be conflict in the room, but students will make friends and seek to live together elsewhere after they are assigned—or realize they just may want to live alone.  当这种情况发生时, they have the option to move into an available space (we call this a vacancy) or add their names to the waitlist for a fully open room to move into.  These forms can all be found on the 住宅生活 website under “Forms & 政策.”

My student says there are limited options at Prospect 餐厅 Hall and has been purchasing food at off-campus locations, but we are paying for a meal plan. What are our options?

PSU 餐厅 recognizes that sometimes there isn’t anything like a home cooked meal and for some, the transition to college life can be difficult. We strive to ease that transition with the quality of food and offerings available at all meal periods. We truly want all guests to have an enjoyable dining experience every time they walk through the doors.

With over seven stations to choose from, there really is something for everyone to enjoy. Here is a list of our stations to review with your student:

  • FYUL: Our wellness station that is free of all nine major allergens and gluten. All food is chef prepared at the station to avoid cross contamination.
  • Chef’s Table: Our Chef’s Table provides guests with daily, made-to-order options, breakfast all day, and now offers avoiding-gluten meal options.
  • Homestyle: Daily cuisine specials are offered from all over the world and includes vegan and vegetarian options.
  • Grille: For guests craving some good ol’ comfort food they can find fresh-made burgers, 热狗, 的鸡肉, 薯条, and daily specials such as a Cuban panini, 鲁本三明治来说, 或油炸玉米粉饼.  
  • Pizza and Pasta: This line offers two homemade pasta options, and all the fresh, handmade pizza you could want. (Avoiding-gluten options can be found on our FYUL line.) In the evening, guests can create their own pasta dish with various toppings and sauces.
  • Soup and Salad: Features two daily soup options, a sandwich making station (including a panini press), and a salad bar with fruit, 酸奶, an assortment of salad ingredients, 调味品, 和酱.
  • Dessert: Filled with baked-daily cookies, 布朗尼, 松饼, 糕点, 蛋糕, 和更多的, alongside our Gilford’s ice cream cooler.

In addition to all the above stations, Prospect 餐厅 Hall has many other features such as a hot sauce bar, 香料架, non-dairy milk alternatives, 百吉饼, 烤面包, & cereal station, and stive to add new features every semester.

We invite students and 家庭 that express concern over meal offerings to speak with a PSU 餐厅 manager and/or 阿曼达优美的, Director of 学生生活 and 餐饮服务, to discuss options and how the dining team could accommodate.

My student has a food allergy or is Kosher/vegetarian/vegan. How will they be accommodated?

PSU 餐厅 is happy to accommodate guests that have specialized nutrition concerns including dietary restrictions, severe food allergies, or celiac disease and require food and service to be clear of allergen cross-contact. A dedicated area at Prospect 餐厅 Hall called FYUL, our wellness station, is free of all nine major allergens and gluten.  In addition, our Chef’s Table station can provide grilled food options that avoid gluten. We offer a variety of vegetarian and vegan options at many of our stations daily and welcome guests to provide feedback for additional offerings.

PSU 餐厅 realizes how seriously food allergies, specific dietary restrictions and special diets can affect the quality of our students’ campus experience. Students can contact our 注册ed Dietitian Alyssa Fernandes at 阿莉莎.fernandez@compass-usa.com or request to speak to our Director of 住宅生活 & 餐饮服务, 阿曼达优美的 to discuss any concerns or special dietary needs.

My student is struggling 学术ally. What can the university do to help?

Your student should contact the Office of the Academic Student Advocate in Frost House. Based on the specific issues your student is facing, our Academic Student Advocate can offer advice and support, help your student communicate with 教师, and facilitate connecting with other appropriate campus support services.  

My child is 压力ed out or having mental-health problems. Whom can be contacted?

You might also suggest to your student the possibility of them downloading and using the WellTrack app, which is an interactive self-help therapy app.  The app is free to all PSU students when they use their PSU email to log in.  The WellTrack app provides various self-help therapy tools.  The WellTrack app also provides referral information to various PSU and community resources for various challenges students might face (i.e. 学术, 金融, 性暴力, 上瘾, health and wellness, safety and security, community involvement/making connections, and career support).
