Sansom East or West??

Hi,

Does anyone know about these places? I'm interested in possibly
living there because it seems cheaper (http://www.business-services.upenn.e...grent0708.pdf).

Anyone have any experiences with this place?

Thanks

if you're a freshman, you can't live in either west or east.

for the most part undergrads living in sansom (west) have their social networks established firmly when they move in; there's pretty much no hall social dynamic.

sansom west is undergraduate / graduate, sansom east is almost all graduate.

with that said, it's nice and cheap, and i'm living there next year!

Oh, so we change the name and now they're chic.

(Of course, having the Institute of Contemporary Art as a neighbor sorta helps. )
