Hello everyone, I come from Vietnam and I want to apply to UPenn as freshman in this semester. Some gave me advice that one of the key to concern the suitability of a college is their communities and academic.
I really know that UPenn is very strong in terms of academic, so what I want to know now is whether I fit the life at college.

  • Is UPenn a strong party school? Or outstanding extracurricular activities or social campus life ? (cause I think I'm quite introvert LOL)
  • If everyone has especial experiences in UPenn, please share with me because I really need your informations to give the right decision :D

Thanks.

Hey! This is a bit late, but I wanted to respond to your post anyways. I’m currently a rising sophomore at Penn so I’ve been here for a year now.
Penn has quite the reputation for parties and there are a lot of them (to me, at least). It’s COMPLETELY okay to not be into that though! I’ve never been to a party and I’ve never had alcohol so far and I love Penn.

There are so many clubs you can join and also, you can join Penn Vietnamese Students Association! They’re really really nice and if not, you can join any other club you want.

Feel free to ask my anything else!
