Welcome to
Harrison College House
Non sibi sed toti
Harrison College House is one of three Upperclass Community 24-floor high rise buildings located on the west side of Penn’s campus. Students can choose from a variety of apartment-style room types from a single room, to a four-bedroom quad, all with private baths. Residents thrive at Harrison by integrating the learning in the classroom and their life beyond. The College House Staff encourage students to be their true selves in the classroom and at home and help show how their learning influences shape and inform their decisions. Harrison's House Values are Curiosity, Inclusion, Service and Wellness. Through programs and initiatives like Dinner and Conversation events with Penn faculty, and the Harrison-Robeson Mentorship Program, the film-in-residence course, and weekly meditation classes, students and staff together make Harrison the big house with a big heart.

What’s Included in Your Room
We believe one of the most important ways to feel at home is to make sure your room is equipped with everything you need. That means giving you a foundation, but also providing the space to make your room uniquely yours; a place to call home.
House Facilities
Going Above and Beyond
Harrison College House is an apartment building, with seasonal air conditioning, private baths, and, in many cases, kitchens. Due to the apartment-style layout, Harrison's 797 residents enjoy a great deal of freedom and privacy, balanced by a healthy sense of floor community. They also enjoy spectacular views of Philadelphia and its surrounding area from the upper floors. Harrison is situated near to the Class of 1920 Commons dining café. Since 2004, Harrison College House has undergone a series of renovations that have provided the House with a number of amenities -- the Heyer Sky Lounge features a kitchen and baby grand piano, a lounge on every residential floor, a resource room with games and cleaning supplies, a billiards table, a computer lab open 24-hours, an exercise room, a multimedia classroom, and two music practice rooms with an upright piano in each room.
