Penn seems like a really liberal school, but I am slightly more conservative, would I have problem fitting into the school? What should I do?

@johnken3699 while Philly is a blue city, and most universities lean very liberal, Penn having a highly acclaimed business school provides nuanced capitalistic perspectives that should give you some collegiality. My D comes from a more conservative background and after visiting the campus, even if you don’t attend Wharton, I think you’ll be ok.
While on my tour of University of Pennsylvania, I asked my personal tour guide specifically on the political situation of the campus. He said he himself was conservative and there was really no strong activism or anything on campus. Everything was more nuanced and neutral.
(Personal tour guide cause my family was split from the rest of the group. So instead of 20-30 people per tour guide it was just my family of 4 with a tour guide. It was awesome).

With apologies for the over simplification, UPenn has more of a pre-professional vibe: these are kids who are focused on where they are going.
