<p>My essay took the position “immovable” and I have to say it was pretty bomb. I used an extended metaphor about a seed growing into a tree (I’m an environmental science major). I thought that mover was the only right choice at first, and I thought using all 3 would be the easy way around the question, so I stuck with one</p>
<p>pstrett, I live in West Philly and don’t find the neighborhood dangerous at all, especially the neighborhood around Penn. It’s honestly pretty suburban.</p>
<p>If you’re afraid of black people, then West Philly is not a good neighborhood for you (and you shouldn’t go to Penn). But it’s not a dangerous place.</p>
<p>Dear 45 Percenter:</p>
<p>As shown in the report: <a href=“http://www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/assets/AnnualReports/2011-Annual-Report.pdf[/url]”>http://www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/assets/AnnualReports/2011-Annual-Report.pdf</a></p>
<p>In 2011, PennComm processed 104,373 total emergency calls.
It shows the total # of 911 calls to Phila Police processed by Penn Police to be 1, 592.</p>
<p>Thats a LOT!!!</p>
<p>Perhaps this site will help you understand the crimes at UPENN. There is a lot of theft, assualt, burglary and robbery. I wish the site would break down the types of robbery but alas, no luck there. The map only shows 4 years of data and yet its covered with icons.</p>
<p>[Philadelphia</a> Crime Map - Showing Crime in University of Pennsylvania, PA - Crime Statistics - Crime Alerts - Crime Stops Here](<a href=“http://ucrime.com/pa/university+of+pennsylvania]Philadelphia”>http://ucrime.com/pa/university+of+pennsylvania)</p>
<p>I think they could do a better job stopping these types of crimes by keeping the ‘bad element’ off campus. Recently I spotted 2 homeless people sleeping across from the Quad and nobody said a word. These people have nothing to lose and everything to gain by stealing. I think they do! That is just a VERY smaller examples.</p>
<p>I am willing to concede the secutiy team does a good job but they need to do a GREAT job on a campus with this history and esteem. It would be nice to have Yale’s walls around UPENN or at least on the far western side.</p>
<p>^What’s the purpose of your ■■■■■ obsession?It won’t be long before 45% answers your ■■■■■ nonsense. Aren’t you tired of him/her making you look silly?</p>
<p>What happened to you pstrett? What even precipitated this?</p>
<p>pstreet is stalking the Penn threads trashing Penn security etc. It’s kinda childish.</p>
<p>Its really bad because there is very little going on that common sense wouldn’t prevent.</p>
<p>Most victims of crime, in general, are people who left themselves vulnerable - drunk, alone, taking a shortcut, lost in bad neighborhood, etc.</p>
<p>I don’t mind pstrett saying crime exists but he exaggerates it and offers no solutions, just complaints and derision. If this is really a concern, instead of anonymous postings, why not set up a student task force or student escort service or student watch for suspicious behavior. (Note: I made two assumptions - that these kinds of thing don’t already exist and that pstrett is a student. I dont know if either is the case). </p>
<p>Are you moved, a mover or an immovable nuisance is my question?</p>
<p>And personally…I thought Penn security was substantial and satisfactory. I worked at HUP for a number of years and walked campus and the surrounding areas many times with zero incidents.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Where exactly??</p>
<p>i wish there was a formula to get into penn</p>
<p>No formula. There is an elegance about it.</p>
<p>How competitive do you guys think the applicant pool is for ED Penn given the fairly high acceptance rate?</p>
<p>Look at the stats. The admit rate doesn’t mean it’s more or less competitive. The students are accepted at almost all schools in the ED/EA round at almost double the rate in the RD round. Schools want to commit to kids who want to commit to them. Stats in either round are comparable.</p>
