<p>"I can wear "Penn" sweatshirts without people wanting to beat me up"</p>
<p>what?</p>
<p>The Science, Technology, and Society dept, in particular its staff!</p>
<p>Reading about that department and the people who work within it really got me excited about the University of Pennsylvania. The only other school I saw that has a department like it is Yale. </p>
<p>And, based on my visit and talking to other Penn students, I think they're definitely less snobby than other Ivy Leaguers.</p>
<p>Philadelphia = cheap rent, good public transit, cheap food. Pretty much sums up why Penn is for me.</p>
