Philadelphia’s affordability (especially compared to other East Coast cities) is just one of many reasons it is among Wanderu’s best destinations for college students. Another reason is how much there is to do!

Head to Reading Terminal Market to fuel up for a night hitting the bars, clubs, and live music joints that line South Street.
