What are weekends like at Penn?
Although students do not have classes on Saturday and Sunday, these are important days in their lives at Penn. They are not only the time when many key social events occur, but they are also a time when students do reading, homework and paper writing for their classes. For this reason we strongly encourage students to remain on campus over the weekend. Even students who live close enough to go home for the weekend are often better served by staying on campus. Returning home frequently can disrupt adjustment to college life and add to stress.
