Accommodation image

All undergraduate students are required to live in on-campus housing for their first four semesters and participate in a dining plan, according to Penn Admissions. Graduate and professional housing is handled separately and availability is not guaranteed, so international students should compare Penn housing with Philadelphia off-campus options early. Penn's 2026–27 undergraduate room and board figures should be treated as planning values, not a universal graduate budget.
Daily living support image

Penn Dining and College House services provide the undergraduate dining route, with menus and dining support managed through Penn's residential system. Students with allergies, religious requirements or other dietary needs should confirm current dining accommodations and meal-plan details before arrival. Graduate and professional students should budget for their own food arrangement unless their housing or programme states otherwise.
Safety and support image
Image placeholder
Penn provides public-safety, emergency, health and student-support resources through its campus services and Philadelphia location. Safety conditions and transport decisions vary by route and time, so students should use current Penn Public Safety guidance, orientation materials and local advice rather than relying on a single generalized city label. Penn's International Student and Scholar Services supports international students with immigration information, employment authorisation guidance, border-entry questions and integration programming. Undergraduate admissions, graduate schools and professional schools each set their own application, academic, English-language, testing, portfolio and deadline rules. Students should use ISSS and the named school as the final authority for their status and programme questions.
