About Our East Falls Campus
Our East Falls Campus has the best of both worlds. Only 10 minutes from all that the City of Philadelphia has to offer, the 104 acres of scenic, tree-lined grounds feel like a world away. East Falls and neighboring Wissahickon and Manayunk are quaint towns full of restaurants and shops. The campus itself is located at Wissahickon Valley Park’s edge, giving easy access to miles of hiking and biking trails.
