Why I chose to go to Penn?
Penn offered me a superior overall academic environment and the flexibility to tailor my studies across both liberal arts and business. Plus it has a great college campus feel in a city location which is unique, so you get the best of both those worlds. My campus visit on a beautiful spring day sealed the deal.
What Penn can offer students, that you won’t read about on its website?
Variety!!!!! You can pursue liberal arts or technical fields or create your own major. You can hang out on campus or head into the city. You can catch a Big Five basketball game (a great Philadelphia tradition) down at the Palestra or you can chill at the school’s museum. You will be continually challenged in the classroom and never bored outside of it.
