hollyHoliday Shopping Around Campusholly

There will be special holiday festivities at University Square, on 36th Street between Sansom and Walnut Streets,  on Thursday, December 18 from 5-7 p.m., including ice carvings on the 36th Street Plaza, free hot cider, and a performance by the West Powelton Steppers Drill Team. For those shoppers who are making their way across campus the old fashioned way, there are many eateries along the way, many of the offering  gift certificates to take the guesswork out of gift-giving.

running computerThis holiday season, it is easier than ever to let your computer do the walking if you can't make your way all across campus to shop for gifts. Not only do the chain stores have websites these days, many of the places unique to Penn do too, including the UPM Shops, the Arboretum, the Computer Connection and The Black Cat to name a few.
