My insight on these points are:
sharing HH with undergrads, I dunno, they aren't here yet.
Centre City is the most popular location by far, that's where all the action is, however it's pretty expensive. I wouldn't be able to compare it to other major cities - I come from Brussels where rent is cheap - but if you ask me it's pretty expensive considering the city and the quality of the units.

Foofighter,
The entire undergrad class isn't here just a few people taking summer classes. Once they are here I think the only real problem will be booking study rooms at Huntsman since apparently undergrads live in those rooms during exams. That really shouldn't be a problem since a lot of Wharton students form study groups and meet in Centre City or go to the bus. library. Centre City is where 90% or so of grad students stay. There are some nice places near Huntsman but it's a trade off...either you have to shlep it to go to school or to events, it's a personal decision. Philly is on the expensive side, especially for rent and beer. Rent is high and you have to look in order to get a good building, as audio said a lot of buildings are on the old end and people seem to be paying a premium for being in Centre City. Compared to Boston the rent is about the same but the apartments you'd get there are nicer. Buying bear from the local delis is expensive...it's about the same per bottle in most bars. Centre City is definitely a fun place though, and with the tons of Wharton students, if you go for a walk you're bound to run into two to three people you know.
