To PCOM Class of 2007: Welcome!
Congratulations on your acceptances, you have chosen an excellent school and rich learning environment. We (the class of 2006) look forward to seeing you on campus next year. I have seen many inquiries about housing (costs, locations, timing, etc) I actually waited until the week before classes started to move in last year and I have regretted it ever since. I have found that students who move in earlier feel more acclamaited to the new environment (apt, city, grocery store, church, bars, and oh yeah...bars, etc). Locations: City Line Ave is a major roadway and home to some moderate apt complexes. Belmont Street is also about a 5 min. walk to PCOM and has single apts for $700-850. Manayunk (where I live) is about a 5 min drive and is home to much of the local nightlife, upscale dining, and specialty shops. The closer to Main St the more expensive. (On Main St one bedroom apts = $1000/ month). Roxborough is about 10-15 min drive to PCOM and is Manayunk's not so attractive little brother but much cheaper. Hopefully this helps. Additionally, the Student Affairs office compiles a list of people seeking roommates, as well as, landlords who have property to rent. I happen to be both. Due to my roommates late decision to go overseas, I am looking too. I am particularly interested in someone who is looking to relocate by June 1st (So if your responsible, respectful, reasonably normal, and fun {work hard/play hard} email me and we can talk)
Also, anyone who already has another person to live and/or couple with a child. There is a 2+bed/2 bath recently refurb upscale row house 1/2 block from Main St. Manayunk. Roof deck/Patio, washer/dryer, new appliances, too many extras to list: $1400/month or $1750/ month with cadillac-style furnishings!) Available June 1st.
Take Care,
Robb
