Program Community applications for upperclassmen will be accepted January 24, 2019 at 9am – January 28, 2019 at 1pm, at MyHomeAtPenn.
It’s not just first-year students who are offered the opportunity to live with other students and faculty who share a passion for a particular subject—many Theme Communities offer membership to upperclass students too! Membership in a Theme Community or an approved Student Designed Community is completely voluntary but requires a special application process.
