Arrangements have been made with the University of Pennsylvania’s Office of Hospitality Services to reserve a number of rooms in one of the university’s residence halls. The price for these rooms is $90 a night per person, and they will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. To make reservations, please use the following link:
