Ben Franklin Scholars/Wharton Joseph Scholars and living in hill
Hey, I am an incoming freshman at Wharton for accounting. I recently applied for Ben Franklin Scholars on the optional academic programs page of the admitted student portal. I applied because I heard it 1) adds a bit of appeal to your resume 2) doesn’t have much extra requirements for Wharton students and 3) I want the access to all their opportunities.
But I wanted to know whether it was a requirement for all first years, even those not in CAS, to live in Hill your first year. I already found roommate I think is pretty chill and would rather room with them than a random person from BFS. Also, I want to live by the quad for a more quintessential freshman year experience.
Is there anyway to do BFS without living in hill, besides reapplying at the end of freshman year? Thanks
