With students arriving on Penn’s campus this week to move into the College Houses, Penn Today has compiled links to resources and statistics about the campus Move-In experience.
Students are arriving on Penn’s campus this week to get ready to start the 2023-24 academic year. Move-In officially begins Monday with international, transfer, exchange, and first-generation students. Tuesday and Wednesday will be busy days, with the Class of 2027 first-years moving in across campus. Returning students will arrive Friday through Sunday. Staff at the University’s undergraduate College Houses and Residential Services have been working for months to prepare for these arrivals.
