Being a GA is amazing!

Being a Graduate Associate gives you a free room for not much work in return. Plus, it's fun serving as a mentor to undergraduates!

Dorms

The dorms are pretty old but are fine for what they are. There's community bathrooms but there's heat control. There's lounges and a gym within walking distance. However, bugs can become a big issue. Maintenance sometimes is slow with fixing issues..

Reviewed by CHOP Pediatric Resident living at The Left Bank
University City feels very safe with so many students living in the area as well as the added presence of University security. There are plenty of restaurants and easy access to basic necessities (e.g. grocery store, pharmacy). I really like it because it makes getting to work super convenient and street parking is much more available for visitors (or if you're like me and occasionally borrow your parents' car) compared to other areas of the city. It is also very close to the Schuylkill River Trail for walking/running/biking, is a quick walk into Center City, and gives you easy access to a variety of public transportation as well as major highways.

I love living in this neighborhood! There are a few parks nearby, and there's all kinds of great food places. I definitely try to be cautious and aware of my surroundings, but overall I feel very safe where I live. I love that I can easily walk to school and that the SEPTA trolley lines go right past my house- easy to get to center city for internships, etc.

Lately it has gotten a little noisy at night on my street, but otherwise I have few complaints about the neighborhood.

Living along Baltimore Ave is great - tons of small shops, restaurants, and bars. It's also really easy to get to school or center city on the trolleys. Neighborhood has all the city amenities but is way cheaper and quieter than center city.

I am in UCity, right across the street from the law school. It's quiet but it is kind of far from rittenhouse and center city. There are only a few restaurants and bars around here, but its a short uber into the city.

University City is a bustling college town with plenty of bars, restaurants and nightlife. You don't need to go far to find whatever is you're looking for.
Reviewed by Penn Carey Law Student living at Arrive University City
For Penn students, the location is perfect, less than a five minute walk to school. There are bars, food, etc though center city offers more options.

Very close to university and law school. Good fast food options. A bit far from downtown

Nice and clean, seemingly safe, not much to do in the area though
