<p>It's less intuitive to count from the main campus area to Sansom Place because it goes along the streets with names, not numbers. But let's say you were on Locust. North of Locust is Walnut, and north of Walnut is Sansom (and then you're home). It's all well-lit and within the nexus of campus safety.</p>
<p>I was really surprised at how tight the security is for the dorms. To get into the Quad, not the buildings, but just the grassy area, you need to slide ur penn card AND type in ur pin number. same goes for the high rises and other residential areas as well.</p>
<p>Actually Penn has a commitment not to expand west of 40th street, so they shouldn't be directly involved in the gentrification of areas west of campus.</p>
