If you plan to live off-campus, there is a wide range of housing options to consider in terms of location, convenience, type, condition of rental unit, and size.
Rental costs vary accordingly.
One way of reducing housing costs is to share an apartment or a house, an option that is chosen by a significant number of students. The housing stock of University City can accommodate many different life-styles and budgets. Many spacious, well-preserved Victorian homes with lots of yard space and beautiful gardens, townhouses, and apartment buildings are reasonably priced and within walking distance from campus. The University offers free bus and escort services to Penn affiliates who live in the area. The communities within University City are committed to making their neighborhoods better places to live.
