Short Term Lease but Definitely Student Housing
It is important to know that this is student housing. It is overall a quiet place, nice staff, and all things are covered in the rent. Each floor within the housing floor is dirty and need a deep cleaning. In addition, the kitchens are shared spaces, always tidy, and need some additional cleaning as well. They do have front desk staff present 24 hours a day which is a nice touch while being in a new city.
They also offer room cleaning services, deep cleaning of your room carpet, and more.

Studio
Super close to campus, can walk to campus in <5 minutes. Biggest drawback is no kitchen in the unit, although there are communal kitchens (gets annoying that you can't always use it when you want + kitchen is often messy), so found that it was easiest to cook large portions over the weekend and save/meal prep for the week. Price of rent was worth it for me as a 2nd year hoping to rotate at an all year site outside of Philly because the flexible lease (7 months) made more financial sense than renting somewhere cheaper for a whole year, but price of rent isn't quite worth it if you're planning on living here a full year. Mix of people living here, mostly students but also working professionals, never found noise to be an issue. Rent includes all utilities, and place comes furnished.

Good
The staff is very kind and always available. The rooms are nice with attached bathroom. The gym is well maintained and open 24/7. The only issue is that you have to share a kitchen and pay for laundry. Otherwise it’s a great place to live!

Cheap dorm-style housing
For Philly, very affordable and close to school. However, it’s an old building and not the most comfortable to live in, despite the staff trying their best.

Great location!
Less than a 5 minute walk to the law school (Penn Law). There's a grocery store a block down and a few blocks up. Close to the Penn campus, trolley stations, and restaurants. Management is super friendly and usually gets any maintenance issues fixed the same day or next day. The gym onsite is pretty convenient, especially during the winter. There are 2 common kitchens in the building (I rarely use them though). I would say that for the location, the rent is pretty reasonable for what you get.

Dorm Living
Dorm living, one room, includes a bathroom, but doesn't include a kitchen--there are communal kitchens available in the building. The administration is really helpful, responsive, and honest. Good place to live, it's really close to the Law School. Rent includes all utilities. Flexible lease lengths is also a benefit, I am on a 9 month lease, which is great because I'll be spending my summer in New York.

The axis on 36th street
Everything is included in the rent.
10 minutes walk to Drexel.
Restaurants and a 24 hour Wawa across the street.
Staff are very helpful.
Gym located on the first floor. Not a lot of work out machines available but convenient when the weather is bad and I don't feel like going to DAC.

Lately it has gotten a little noisy at night on my street, but otherwise I have few complaints about the neighborhood.
