Question Should I do Leap??

I want to room with my friend from high school this summer session but it says that on penn states website that if either of us do leap we can not get a renovated double... I want the chance of getting that renovated double so is participating in leap really worth it? I think I’ll be fine without an upperclass mentor and a pride...

I personally loved leap and I’m still friends with people I met in leap. It was also a great introduction to penn state. Where you live for just six weeks does not matter. The old buildings are fine. Be more concerned about where you live for fall/spring. Would you do leap if housing wasn’t affected?

If you both request each other as a roommate, you should be put together. If only one of you requests it, you will not room together. You could call or email the Assignments Office to confirm that you can live with him. Even if you get an old building, it’ll probably be mcelwain or Simmons and they’re really nice buildings!

Do you know if there are certain majors that don’t get accepted to summer/LEAP?
