College Houses

The College Houses at Penn are eleven unique undergraduate residences - hubs of intellectual, social and recreational activity.

Every College House offers its own individual combination of architectural features and distinctive staff, while collectively the Houses provide the same level of advising and support for academic and co-curricular activities. The College Houses offer a rich array of social events and outings to foster a sense of community among its residents and expand their horizons.

Each House has a resident faculty master who sets the general academic agenda, with the help of two faculty fellows who also live in the House. A house dean heads up the administrative functions of the House and supervises all of its programs. As advisors in the College of Arts and Science, house deans provide curricular advice to their freshman and sophomore advisees, many of whom may be living in the same College House. Students are encouraged to speak to their house dean as soon as they can about programs available in their College House.
