Philadelphia University was initially established in 1884 and merged with Thomas Jefferson University in 2017, unifying two renowned histories of innovation, education, research, and professional excellence. The new comprehensive university, known as Jefferson, is a dynamic ecosystem of teaching and learning focused on innovative 21st-century professional education and real world demands. Jefferson aims to help student lead change, not just react to it.
Located in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia, Jefferson is convenient to a wide range of apartments and lofts available for rent. Areas like Bala Cynwyd, Manayunk, and Germantown are also proximate to Jefferson’s East Falls Campus. Commuting to campus from farther distances is simple with access to the I-76 and U.S. 1 as well as public transportation.
Jefferson’s East Falls Campus is home to a vibrant community in a park-like environment. Exciting events, specialized clubs, internships, and global opportunities can all be found on campus at any moment. Center City Philadelphia and its many world-class amenities are just minutes from campus too.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
