For students who want to get something more out of their orientation than just a schedule and working knowledge of the campus, we offer the opportunity to arrive the day before and participate in excursions to the City of Philadelphia. This "Finding Philadelphia"
early-arrival allows new students the opportunity to explore Philadelphia - our extended campus - with peer leaders and other new students. Students who would like to participate in this program should plan to arrive on campus at approximately 3:30pm the evening before the scheduled START session.

The $60 program fee includes admissions to a Center City Excursion and selected Manayunk Movie, dinner and breakfast, and an additional night in Ronson Halls.
