<p>Sorry to bump from three pages back (blame APs), but does anyone have any suggestions on Yale? I liked Yale most out of them all but I'm hesitant because it's not strong in any of the majors I'm thinking of...</p>

My brother is an IR major at Penn and complains about it (says the only program in international studies worth anything at Penn is the Huntsman program)

<p>Yeah, it's just him. I am in it and have been having a rigorous and stimulating education. Your brother should take a look at what 'international studies' in Huntsman entails and realizes it is the same curriculum with less emphasis on diplomacy and more on int'l business.</p>
<p>Those int'l business courses in the wharton school are of course open to all Penn students (I've taken one of them so far, MGMT-234, phenomenal) and a unique advantage of Penn to look at international affairs from, well, the way most internationalists see it (for the number of businessmen crossing borders far outstrips that of diplomats).</p>
<p>Hearing about Penn is one thing, being in it quite another thing.</p>
<p>The real downside about Penn (as far as you're concerned) is that it probably feels more urban than Harvard...</p>
