<p>Hey everybody, ive been looking through my housing options and i have no doubt the quad is number one. But i dont know in which order i should put them on my application. I realize theyre all basically the same and this issue is just about the opposite of dramatic, but does anyone know of any significant differences among the three quad houses or offer any advice on which ones are better? </p>
<p>Btw, im an upcoming freshman in the college of arts and sciences who will study premed, if that matters</p>
<p>I’m going to PM you my recommendation shortly…</p>
<p>Thanks for all the great help man!! I was already leaning towards that one, cant wait</p>
<p>^^^I’m really experiencing the same problem as you! I’d love to hear any recommendations, especially when you guys make this sounds so secretive ;)</p>
<p>I don’t think I’m gonna go with Ware. So now… fisher or riepe???</p>
<p>@calishanghai Why have you decided against Ware?</p>
<p>haha i think i’m actually pretty definitely going for Ware now. originally i had a lot, A LOT, of difficulty deciding which penn house in the quad to go for. all of them have really cool residential programs, great location, similar amenities, etc. etc. etc. so i started comparing the trivial things. for some reason i thought ware was farthest from the gate to the quad (i was told winters were a ***** so i should pick a dorm closer to the gate) but turns out fisher was the farthest one. and apparently ware has the largest rooms (please correct me if i’m wrong). ergo, prepping my app for Ware!</p>
<p>I would like to hear more about Ware because apparently M&T students are guaranteed a room there. Good option from the quad?</p>
<p>It’s in the middle of the quad afaik, You can look at architectural blueprints/floor-plans here (internet explorer only) [Penn</a> Quadrangle Room Diagrams](<a href=“http://www.business-services.upenn.edu/housing/layouts/quadrooms/]Penn”>Home | Penn Residential Services)</p>
<p>There are two quad gates, calishanghai; one is in Riepe and one is in Fisher but getting to the gates is simple wherever you live. If you’re worried about being on time to class and you’re in Engineering, put Riepe first. If you’re a Wharton kid in the same situation, put Fisher first. Otherwise, it’s all the Quad :)</p>
<p>The idea that one should choose Fisher due to distance is a bit far fetched. Any of the houses can work, it’s not like they’re especially far from anything too important. Also, that situation with the gate is funny. The gate itself is labeled the “Fisher-Hassenfeld” gate, which is within Memorial Tower, over which Ware has jurisdiction (for nearly all of it).</p>
<p>thanks, travelbug and maserrano. LitCult is right down my alley, so I’ll be sticking with Ware. :)</p>
