Best UPenn Dorms

"The elevators barely ever work, and the wind tunnel is strong during the winter (struggle walking to class). But, if you choose Harrison it's still nice. Higher floors have good views and don't have any critter or rodent issues, but lower floors can have a couple of issues. "

"Laundry is on even floors. Try to live on higher floors if you want a less pests/bugs. Elevators are always a big hassle so you have to add an extra 5 minutes to your commute to classes and clubs. Great place to live since most upperclassmen are on that side of campus."

"Building itself was built in 2021, so all of the rooms and hallways are beautiful. However, the rooms are a bit small and there is no ventilation in the bathrooms (literally against housing code). It's also a far walk to class but you have very convenient access to Quaker Kitchen. Laundry is on the second floor so it can be a trip, and there's only one entry/exit (for security reasons) so if you live on the other "wing," it can take a while to get there. Package room is convenient and the small fitness/yoga studios are nice. Huge TVs and study spaces on each floor along with full kitchens, a pool table, foosball, couches, and more. Front desk staff is super friendly too."

"Newly renovated and has best hall bathrooms (each toilet and shower is its own little room with real walls and a locking door). Good heat and AC, decent dining hall, 10/10 location if you're SEAS. Only downside is rooms are a bit small but I thought it was fine."

"People don't know about Stouffer. But Stouffer is where the real Gs live. I won't say more than that, in fact I may have said too much already."
