About The Photo
Gregory consistently earns one of the highest rates of student satisfaction among Penn’s College Houses; we also rank very high for return rates for students. We have long hosted Penn's residential language programs, which are some of the most successful academic programs at the University. The House sponsors a number of social activities from weekly brunches to Bring Your Own Mug night to karaoke.

About The Photo
Gregory begins each year with a BBQ and volleyball on “the beach,” the field between Van Pelt and the Class of 1925. The BBQ is run by both RAs/GAs and the Manager staff, and is open to freshman through senior residents, as Gregory is truly an all-year College House.

About The Photo
On any given evening, Gregorians will be chatting, eating, studying and playing board games along a hall of comfortable chairs, looking out at festive Spruce Street through floor-to-ceiling windows, or shooting billiards in the club room as their neighbors bake desserts in the adjoining kitchen. Our social fabric is second to none!

WELCOME TO GREGORY
Welcome to Gregory, where residents believe that a college house should be more than just a place to study for your Econ 001 midterm, sleep in a one-bedroom, and grab the occasional free slice of pizza. Although the House does provide all that, it is also a place where you can explore new things and feel a real sense of community.
For a start, Gregory celebrates diversity through its Modern Languages Program and cinema through the Film Culture series. But even if German leaves you tongue-tied and the Oscars give you a headache, you will still be welcomed to Sunday brunches, study breaks, and weekly BYOM hot chocolate nights with open arms. With a supportive network of GAs, RAs and dynamic student staff, there's always something going on and someone to talk to - this is a house that's got your back.
So try a new French phrase in the mosaic-festooned Greenhouse, engage in a Star Wars vs. Star Trek debate in the Film Lounge, or simply laugh until you can't breathe in the piano lounge when you're supposed to be studying - this is a House that will embrace you. Visit for a while, or stay four years. Either way, we hope you'll feel at home here.
