OTHER OPTIONS
You may find hotels farther from campus with cheaper rates. The cheapest ones on campus are International House and the Divine Tracy Hotel. Please note, however, that the areas of South Philadelphia, North Philadelphia, Northeast Philadelphia, Southwest Philadelphia, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Bucks County and New Jersey are significantly farther from campus than Center City. In many cases, public transportation from these areas to the University is available, but can be time consuming and costly, and is not available 24 hours a day. If you choose to stay farther away, please investigate your transportation and parking options before booking a room. Email plc29@babel.ling.upenn.edu if you have questions about accommodations, or if you're interested in finding a roommate or requesting crash space.
