As a young female who lives alone, safety and affordability are my 2 biggest worries. I live in a very affordable studio with pretty reasonable services. Maintenance doesn't' make appointments but does respond in a timely manner. Penn police is also

I have never seen pests or rodents in my 4 months living here, even within a large building with many tenants, which is something I definitely appreciate.

I would definitely recommend to other students who attend University of Penn/ U Sciences.
