<p>I visited Penn this past weekend and I will be a student there next year. Truthfully, I had the same concern about the social atmosphere there, especially because my family does not have a lot of money. Penn’s very generous financial aid is making it possible for me to attend. I was talking with some friends that I was staying with and they told me that they have found money to not be a huge issue…there is so much diversity at Penn that if you don’t want to be friends with people in higher income classes, you don’t have to. You can find a place for yourself within the countless communities and groups within Penn’s campus.</p>
