<p>Are most of the res. programs in the quad geared toward freshmen? I'm an incoming freshman and thinking about applying to a few programs. I know that if accepted I would room with someone from the same program. Would I be more likely to room with a freshman or an upperclassman?</p>

<p>The overwhelming majority of students in the Quad are freshmen. There are a few upperclassmen, but they usually are RAs or in that type of position. I’m sure there are some exceptions, but not many. And yes, freshmen generally room with other freshmen.</p>

<p>Glad to find this topic! Any advice for which residential program in the quad to apply for a poly sci major interested in gender studies?</p>

<p>^ Just quickly reviewing the list of residential programs, she might be interested in (1) Penn Women in Leadership, and (2) Policy, Politics and Social Change:</p>

<p>But I recommend that she go through the entire list to also see if anything else interests her.</p>

<p>Found those, thank you! She doesn’t want my help, guess I’d better get used to that.</p>

<p>^ Yep–it’s how they learn to be self-sufficient adults. :)</p>

<p>[But, of course, while being secure in knowing that the parental safety net is always there if needed.] ;)</p>
