International House

At International House, you can walk to classes at UPenn in just six minutes, and to Drexel University in eight. On weekends, use the nearby bus and trolley stops to experience the rest of the city. Cheer your basketball team on at the Daskalakis Athletic Center, or continue your cultural excursions with a visit to Baltimore Avenue’s international boutiques and eateries.

Living so close to campus means you can come home between classes whenever you need to. At lunchtime, meet your friends in the resident café, then retreat to your quiet, private room to work at your desk in peace. At the end of the day, bounce ideas off your classmates in the communal study room, or get your research done using the computer room’s high-speed internet.

When you’re finished, catch up on your favorite shows in the TV lounge, or workout using your discounted gym membership. Afterwards, throw your clothes in the laundry and freshen up with a quick shower before checking out the evening’s events. With an impressive calendar of live music shows, film screenings and art exhibitions, it’s impossible to be bored at International House.

If you don’t feel like cooking dinner in your sleek, modern kitchen, there are lots of cool restaurants in the area to choose from. Try Pod for Asian fusion cuisine, or White Dog Café for delicious farm-to-table fare and a great student atmosphere. Having fun comes naturally at International House, because with 24-hour security and all utilities included, you’ll have total peace of mind.
