So I've gotten confirmation back from PSU. Unfortunately, the outer doors of the building are locked to the general public at 10pm, and the housing team does not have any control over this. They will also not post people at the front door, because due to variable flight schedules etc., they would basically be stuck there all night. I'm afraid this means that people arriving after 10pm *do* have to call to get in. And you'll want to call upon arrival /on campus/, not from the airport, so that they can come to the door and let you in. I'm cc:ing the team again, for their information and also to see if people want to come up with a better plan (possibly involving stationing late-night volunteers at the door during known arrival times?) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
