Welcome to the King's Court English College House! So you want to know a little about KCECH, eh? Well then, join me for a tour of what I believe to be one of the best college houses on campus!

First-Year House Goals

The first question that's probably on your mind is what really is a college house? Is it just the place I will sleep at night as a student? No! KCECH is much more than that. Let me try to layout some of the goals we have in mind for the students who shall spend your semesters in the KCECH environment:

With the implementation of the new college house system, the University of Pennsylvania aims to promote a higher level of community and academic collaboration. In hopes to unite the house together, we as a college house also have specific goals for our residents here.
  • To provide for students an effective and challenging orientation to the educational life of the University

  • To improve the intellectual and emotional transition between high school and the University

  • To promote the formal and informal interaction of students and faculty members in supportive and educational ways

  • To build a spirit of community and class identity

  • To improve academic and non-academic support services for first-year undergraduates

  • To increase student participation in the intellectual, cultural, and other resources of the University and the Philadelphia area
