Fisher Hassenfeld College House
Also known as “Fisher”, this college house is located in the “Upper Quad”. It is constantly full of freshmen playing frisbee, SABSing (see-and-being-seen) and even features a statue (it’s the only section of the Quad to have one). The quintessential freshman dorm experience!
If you can tolerate not-as-modern facilities, I would rank this near the top/at the top for freshman housing! Even if you don’t consider yourself a social butterfly, I think the Quad is great because compared to other housing options, it has A LOT MORE freshmen to meet, is much more central, and is the quintessential freshman dorm experience! The brick architecture is also beautiful and gives off such Ivy League vibes; the Quad is probably the most famous and iconic place to live as a freshman at Penn. While the differences between Fisher, Ware and Riepe are negligible, something to note is that Fisher has a very nice library to study in! You have three more years to live in four-year college houses––why not take advantage of the freshman-only housing when you can?
