TEMPORARY HOUSING

If you need a place to stay for several days, weeks, months or until you find the housing solution that seems right for you, we would like you to know that reasonably priced options are in very short supply. Unless you are willing to stay in a student hostel or find a place at the International House Student Residence, you should probably expect to spend well over $1,200 for a monthly stay. For daily or weekly short term furnished accommodation you should plan to spend no less then $70 per night. Rental ranges between $575 - $750 per room per month exist, but they are in short supply. Unfurnished apartments are available for prices comparable to year-long lease prices. If this is the option you have to choose, you can rent furniture on your own. 

See our information at http://www.upenn.edu/offcampusliving/rental/furniture.html. Companies often require a minimum of three months stay.  During the summer months, short-term accommodation at reasonable prices is available due to the large number of students who sublet their apartments for the summer. Check our interactive database for these opportunities. Guest Housing on campus is only available to Penn affiliates.
