Stonier Network

Held at the beginning of the school, these receptions provide a casual meet-and-greet atmosphere. Many students continue the conversation at nearby restaurants close to campus.

Attractive Location

Spending a week on an Ivy League campus is an experience in itself! Located in Philadelphia, The University of Pennsylvania campus is Stonier’s home – where undergraduate and graduate students have received best-in-class education for more than two centuries. The campus has sprawling lawns, beautifully tended gardens, collegiate quadrangles and informal places to gather and talk. Weather permitting, students often take their team assignments outside to enjoy the surroundings. Campus is a convenient distance from Philadelphia International Airport, trains and buses, as well as shops and restaurants – all in one of the city’s most vibrant, historic and diverse neighborhoods.

Lodging

No dorm rooms! Stonier students stay in hotels that are accessible to campus. Some hotels are located closer to the downtown area in Philadelphia, allowing for easy exploration of the city, and other hotels are closer to the University. Rooms fill quickly, so the earlier students submit applications to Stonier, the better chance of securing preferred lodging.

Meals and Refreshments

A hot breakfast buffet is provided some mornings, with opportunities for “grab and go”, a full meal option or a few morning meals independently. Students receive a pre-loaded meal card for lunches throughout the week, which can be used at several locations. Morning and afternoon refreshments are also provided. Vegetarian options are available, and we will cater to special dietary needs.
