Accommodation details

Penn embraces a college house system that comprises eleven residential communities namely W.E.B. Du Bois College House, Fisher Hassenfeld College House, Gregory College House, Harnwell College House, Harrison College House, Hill College House, Kings Court English College House, Riepe College House, Rodin College House, Stouffer College House, Ware College House. Every house provides a common set of features, including faculty masters, house deans, advising, and support for academic and co-curricular activities. Yet each house retains its own distinctive atmosphere, personality, and quirks—and its own coat of arms. The architecture of the houses is wildly disparate. Students could live high above campus in a modern 24-story skyscraper with panoramic views of the city, or in one of the historic parts of the Quad, with slanted ceilings, wood floors, and frisbee-strewn courtyards. Penn offers a variety of dining choices on and around campus, from inexpensive fare to gourmet feasts. Penn Dining Services provides flexible meal plans, including daily entrees, vegetarian selections, and a salad bar in each dining room.
