All undergraduate students are required to live on-campus for their first four semesters. We also have space across campus for third and fourth-year students that want to live Penn. Although your student just moved in, you may hear they already need to decide about next year’s housing. Good news—there is no rush! Room Selection takes place in January and February. Rooms are available for students who want to live on campus, so finding housing need not be on your student’s Fall to-do list.
