About Gregory

Gregory is a really special place on campus! It’s a close-knit community where it’s easy to find people to connect with, especially if you haven’t quite found your group at Penn yet. The house has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to build genuine relationships with others. Since it’s a four-year College House, you get to meet and live with students from all years and majors, which adds a lot of depth and variety to the community. What really stands out about Gregory is its strong commitment to culture and the variety of human experiences. It’s not just something we talk about, it’s something that really shapes how we live and interact here.
