Welcome to Penn! Living on campus is an amazing experience, and some of your closest friends will come from your College House. Each College House has live-in faculty who are there to help you, as well as a blend of Residential Advisors and Graduate Associates. Penn has eleven College Houses: Du Bois, Fisher Hassenfeld, Gregory, Harnwell, Harrison, Hill, Kings Court English, Riepe, Rodin, Stouffer and Ware.

As members of the Residential Advisory Board, we have created some videos for you, the incoming students, so that you can make a more informed decision about where to apply to live. Each video shows the outside of each College House and common spaces where residents spend a lot of their time. There is also an interview with a current resident who will talk about what it is like to live in their House, followed by footage of their room.

The Residential Advisory Board aims to promote inter-house communication and events, as well as to advise the administration on issues affecting undergraduate residents. In particular, RAB serves as the official liaison between College House residents and two offices: College Houses & Academic Services, and Housing & Conference Services. To learn more about RAB, see www.collegehouses.upenn.edu/ra b.

We hope you find these videos informative and helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to log on to www.pennspace.info and post them to the current staff and students already online, or to send email to collegehouses@pobox.upenn.edu.

Sincerely,

Tom Estabrook, Stephanie Joco, and Carly Levitz
