<p>After frosh year of college at Penn, how many students remain on campus for their later years? Do most people leave soph, junior, or senior year to live off campus? By senior year, will most people live off campus, or do most students stay on campus in dorms, live in frats, or live in other Penn housing? </p>
<p>I am wondering because my dad showed me where he and his friends lived when they went to Penn for grad school, and the neighborhoods look very beat up and ghetto.</p>
<p>Idk the numbers, but using common logic im going to say most of them don't move off campus</p>
<p>probably a 20% of upperclassmen live off campus in frat houses or just private apts off campus</p>
<p>Don't they only have enough room to accomodate 70% of undergrads? Since almost all first years live on campus, isn't it logical that 30%+ of upper class move off campus?</p>
<p>I believe it is something like 50% of undergrads live on campus. I would definitely say that most students move off campus by senior year, but there is still a sizeable amount who stay on.</p>
<p>you're wrong</p>
<p>If by "most" you guys mean more then 50% move off campus, you are wrong. "Most" of the upperclass 60+% live on campus.</p>
<p>not true. Penn only has housing for little more than half its undergrads, and since virtually all freshman and most sophomores living on cmapus, it stands to reason that most upperclassmen do not</p>
<p>From the DP:</p>
<p>"Most students at Penn spend one year in one college house, one year in another college house and then move off campus," Nichols said, adding that while Penn's peer institutions house virtually all of their undergraduates, the University can only house slightly more than half.</p>
<p>here's another article that puts the total percentage of undergrads living off campus at about 40%</p>
<p>Again, with 25% of the student body being freshman living on campus, this means that either the other three years are relatively evenly split between on and off campus, or that a majority of upperclassmen live off campus.</p>
<p>how does having a majority of upperclassmen living off campus affect campus life? is it still strong, or does 60% of students living off campus hurt?</p>
<p>Doesn't hurt at all.</p>
<p>It depends how you define "hurts campus life," really. Which totally depends on what your perception of an ideal campus life is. </p>
<p>Penn does not have the same campus life as some of the other Ivies - having visited all the Ivies extensively, I would say that it's worse than some because it's not nearly as cohesive. But others might say it's better.</p>
<p>Visit your top choices, spend a weekday plus a couple weekend days there, and sample academics and social life. That's the only way you'll really know if the school is right for you.</p>
