<p>Just wondering if there was anyone here that has experience with Penn’s Linguistics department. I am actually looking at them for Grad school and its one of my top choices. Anyone have experience with faculty? Also interested in foreign languages so anyone who has taken foreign language courses (particularly French and Italian) your input is appreciated!</p>
<p>BTW: I posted the same q in the Cornell forum cuz I am looking at both schools :)</p>
<p>Penn is all about languages. They offer the most foreign languages after Yale. I know someone that is a research assistant with the linguistics faculty and she loves it. The Penn Language Center is amazing. I have heard Fritalian there is hot, but I'm talking undergrad. And I don't know much outside of a few classes since I go to school nearby and I know people who cross-register there. But in general there are a lot of language geeks there.</p>
<p>Penn is usually considered one of the very top linguistic schools.</p>
<p>Ling is one of the reasons im going there, but i want to study more anthropological linguistics than anything.</p>
<p>Well, Noam Chomsky got his PhD from Penn Linguistics Grad. Depart. if I am not mistaken.</p>
