you and I are dinosaurs when it comes to this. The College was for men, and women, unless in Wharton, Nursing or School of Allied Medical Professions were in the College For Women. I can hear the screams now from the younger ones reading this.
Hill was co-ed, but each suite was segregated by sex. The dorm director was very cooperative in meeting the needs of those who wanted the ability to eat kosher. There were kitchens between the 3rd and fourth floors in each corner of the building, and she gave one over for use as a kosher kitchen. We formed a committee and were given the key, ran a weekend food cooperative (food service and Hillel only provided meals M-F) and shared the cooking and cleanup on the weekends. We budgeted $1 pp per meal and the results were so sucessful, that many non-Jewish dorm-mates wanted in. A classmate of mine from Lake George, had worked three summers as a line cook in the dairy kitchen at Grossingers, so he headed the dairy cooking, and I did meat meals. The following year, he was one of the 5 who bought the row house where we lived the rest of our time at PENN.
Today, it's much easier for students at PENN to get kosher meals, but it's not as interesting............
