Exploring Philadelphia Philadelphia is a city with a rich history, full of culture, nightlife, and educational opportunities. In the Exploring Philadelphia program, residents learn about the city they will call home for the next four years through trips to sporting events, restaurants, theatre, shopping destinations, and historical sites. Recent trips have included the Philly Fringe Festival and the famous Pat's Cheesesteaks. Residents can also take advantage of exposure to local politics and service opportunities, learning the social and political structures of the city. Each year is different, as the focus of events is largely driven by program member interest. Goals: Exploring Philadelphia aims to introduce new students to the city, so that they can fully appreciate and take advantage of its attractions not only in their first year, but for their entire four years at Penn. To apply: No essay is required. Please find the code for this program on the Housing application and mark it as your first choice.
