<p>I see the Penn site treats Wharton as if it is a whole different school. I was just wondering if the Wharton school feels isolated from the rest of the school. If anyone goes there, can you tell me if you feel like you go to "Wharton" instead of "Penn". </p>
<p>Also, how is the workload there. I know they are challenging courses, but will you still have time to enjoy the fun parts of the "social ivy"</p>
<p>not sure what you mean by "a whole different school"</p>
<p>definitely not isolated - people do have their respective school affiliation pride, though</p>
<p>when i was at an info session they said there is tension between the two schools which i found strange because they stress "one university" lol</p>
<p>The two are inseparable and don't merely benefit from each other, they are dependent on each other for their continued success, and they know it. Aside from a handful of delusional kiddos, most students realize this.</p>
<p>Friendly rivalries aside, we are One University, and a frickin sweet one at that.</p>
<p>The One University idea never made sense to me since the standards and the culture at Wharton are so different from the rest of Penn.</p>
<p>Any entity composed of more than one person is going to have "different standards and culture." Red and blue states are both American states, even with "different standards and culture." Wharton is different from College is different from Penn Med is different from Penn Law, but they are all undeniably part of Penn's identity.</p>
<p>If One University doesn't make sense to you, try thinking harder ;)</p>
<p>And by that same flawless reasoning...Harvard is really the same as Arizona State University since the difference in standards is irrelevant so long as they are all part of America's college identity. Therefore, students at ASU are of the same caliber as students at Harvard</p>
