Attending Stonier is an intense, challenging and highly enjoyable experience! Over 8 days, you will be among 700 students and over 70 faculty members, enjoying a rich combination of team-based computer simulations, classroom lectures and interactive sessions.
An important component of the Stonier experience is developing ongoing professional relationships that can last for years to come. You will meet fellow students from across the country and from over 15 countries, representing banks, regulatory agencies and industry providers. There is a rich diversity of genders, job titles and institutions represented among the student body.
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.
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.
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.
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.
