LIVING ON CAMPUS
ESAP students are housed in the high-rise residence halls. These air-conditioned residence halls provide a comfortable balance of privacy and camaraderie in central locations. Residents will stay in multi-occupancy guest suites and will have a private or shared bedroom. Each bedroom is equipped with a set of the following items: extra-long twin bed, desk, desk chair, lamp, and dresser. Due to space constraints, any additional furniture is discouraged. The following items are NOT provided: sheets, pillows, blankets, towels, soap (laundry, dish, and bath), wastebasket, hamper, alarm clock, phone or computer. Amenities, such as linens, can be arranged at rates that are typically lower than economy hotel rooms. Residential Teaching Assistants (RTAs), supervised by a full-time Residential Director in the dorms and instructors in the classrooms, are current Penn undergraduates who live in the dorms with the students and serve as TAs in the classrooms.
More information about residential staff, housing, and dining will be available in the Spring. For general information about Penn’s campus, please visit: http://www.upenn.edu/campus/
