Quick Housing Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>Ok, I have two brief questions about housing at Penn. First of all, does each residential program have separate dorms within a given house. I know there are specific dorms with huntsman and heathy living programs; however, are they the only ones with special housing? For example, are people in the infectious disease program housed with everyone else in Ware?</p>

<p>Secondly, I have a friend who also is attending Wharton, and we both are interested in dorming with eachother this upcoming year. So, say we both said we wanted to house with each other and we both applied for two residential programs at Ware. Should one of us not get into any residential program and the other gets into one of them, would we still be able to dorm together at Ware. Moreover, if we both did ask to room with each other, how likely is it that Penn would accomodate us? Sorry if this is crazy confusing btw guys!!!</p>

<p>Thanks,
Robbie</p>

<p>A residential program will take up a hall (or a floor) of a particular college house. They don’t take up the entire dorm, and aren’t fenced off or anything like that.</p>

<p>Your friend and you will have to complete the same housing application, and note that you want to room with each other. If you make the program and he doesn’t, I’m pretty sure the system will move on to the next choice on both of your applications. I haven’t heard of Penn not rooming people together who have asked to room together, unless you both put together nonsensical applications (only putting the quad for your top three choices than nothing else).
Not completely sure on the second question.</p>
