The University of Pennsylvania is making final preparations for Fall 2021 undergraduate Move-In, which in a first, includes both a First-Year and Second-Year Move-In. Between Aug. 23 and 29, nearly 6,000 undergraduates, including 2,425 members of the Class of 2025 and 2,282 second-year students will be moving into Campus Housing.
Move-In logistics include Gateway testing and other health and safety protocols, including being vaccinated against COVID-19 and masking. More than 225 volunteers and staff working with New Student Orientation and Residential Services will be on hand to assist and there are a variety of activities to welcome students and guests. In addition to those on hand to help with logistics, families and students can enjoy live music and samples of Philly favorites such as Tastykakes, pretzels, and water ice. Visit Philadelphia will also be on hand to provide information about the City and the region and will host a selfie booth. Other activities include walking tours, College House meetings and activities, and a President and Provost Family Welcome.
While Move-In is always new to first-year students, for many second years it will also be their first time living on campus and their first fall on campus after a mostly virtual experience last spring. For all, Move-in is a busy exciting time. Penn Today has gathered a few tips to help guide students and guests through the process:
