generally, off campus housing is fine. transportation would be a bike or your feet, since it’s really not that far (unless you’re late), unless you’re really lazy or really loaded and want to pay $1.30 each way to take a trolley from 40th and baltimore to 37th and spruce, or the respective septa buses, during the day.

depending on the landlord, utilties may or may not be included.

since you’ll be off campus and it’s west philly, be wise about safety (although there are security guards at major intersections until about 43rd and spruce) - you can also take pennbus west at nights, or request a walking escort to get you home.
