Background

The Pennypacker Experience is a scholarly and diverse living/ learning community. Its main goal is to create a supportive environment for first-year students. We believe that this environment can have a positive effect on student retention. The Pennypacker Experience offers you an opportunity to live, hang-out, and study with students who share not only an academic orientation, but many of the same introductory courses.

Many of the Pennypacker Hall residents are first-year students in the First Year Science and Engineering (FISE) House Program, the Mildred S. Bunton and Calvin Waller Undergraduate Fellows, or the Lenfest Scholars Program. Additionally, there are a number of students who may be athletes, participants in the Schreyer Honors College, and others who want the benefit of living in a co-educational, scholarly environment.

During the year, the Pennypacker Experience program will be evaluated. If you are selected to participate in this evaluation, you will be asked to fill out a few surveys. Your opinion about the program is important, so be sure to evaluate your experiences honestly. We need your constructive criticism.
