The application process to live in on-campus housing for the 20232024 academic year will open at the beginning of November. Here are all of the key dates and deadlines you will need to know, according to Penn Business Services Director of Communications and External Relations Barbara Lea-Kruger. Keep reading for a run-down of the living options available for upperclassmen.
The form to indicate interest in on-campus housing for current sophomores, juniors, and seniors graduating in December 2023 opens in MyHomeAtPenn on Nov. 1 and closes on Nov. 21. Completing the application informs Residential Services that a student intends to complete the spring semester’s room selection process and gives them an advantage for room selection timeslots, but it does not commit a student to housing until they apply in the spring.
The room selection application will open for all undergraduate students in MyHomeAtPenn on Jan. 18 and will close on Feb. 7. Students interested in living in a program community must apply by Jan. 27.
Program communities offer a shared living space and special programming for students to connect with peers who have similar cultures, lifestyles, or interests. Some examples of upperclass program communities include the Jewish Cultural Studies Program and Front Row Theatre and the Arts. A full list of program communities can be found on the Penn College Houses & Academic Services website.
Rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors can indicate that they wish to continue living in the same college house next year during the Return to House period.
