Remember, whether you live on or off-campus, the Drug and Alcohol Policy of the University and the Student Code of Conduct apply to you just the same. Your neighbors can be your friends. If you need someone to watch your place while you are away, water your plants or lend you a hammer, they will be there for you. They can also direct you to fun places in the neighborhood and great places for a delicious, inexpensive meal. Get involved with the Community Association in your area.

Loud music, noisy parties, gatherings in excess of the building capacity are also violations of the Philadelphia City Code and of your lease agreement. While this ensures your right to quietly enjoy full possession and use of the premises it also imposes on you the responsibility and obligation not to disturb your neighbors, whether the people living in your building or the people living next door or across the street. If you are in violation of your lease, the landlord will notify you of the violation. If after the notification the violation is repeated, the landlord can start eviction procedures against you. Year-round residents are aware of that and many enjoy the life and energy young people bring to a community.
