Stouffer FAQ

Stouffer College House is one College House but separated into two buildings. We are seperated by the University Ave & Spruce Street. However, our two buildings always act as one house with common activities, facilities, and atmosphere. Stouffer College House is also a Four-Year College House. This means we have undergraduate residents ranging from First-Years to those who have lived at Penn for a year or more. Currently due to the Quad Renovations, Stouffer Hall is all First-Year residents and Mayer Hall is Second-Year or older residents. While reading this FAQ, keep in mind that Stouffer Hall and Mayer Hall are architecturally different, so both buildings have their own distinct room attributes.
