<p>I'm surprised there isn't yet a thread about this. so who is going? what was it like previous years?</p>
<p>Hi arc1431!</p>
<p>I went to Penn Preview last year and I’m going to be giving college house tours this year. It really does help you learn a lot more about Penn. You get to listen to a student panel answer questions, listen to speeches from Dean Furda, talk to current and prospective students, and visit the college houses. In addition, you get a decent amount of free stuff (we got bags and these really cool filtered water bottles that were invented by Penn engineers, 20% off coupons to the Penn bookstore). Overall, it was a really great experience and convinced me that Penn was the right college for me:)</p>
<p>I really want to come down to Philly for the Preview Days but due to family issues, I can’t get driven down. Do you know if Penn could cover the cost of transportation to and from Canada? 
it seems like a long stretch but I really want to check out Penn before I matriculate.</p>
<p>Penn Preview Days is a great way to get to know Penn! As a member of the Kite & Key Society, I’ll be spending plenty of time showing prospective students, like you, around.</p>
<p>My only caveat to you is this: The Quad, which tends to be the most popular housing option for freshmen at Penn, will be closed to visitors on 4/13, due to Penn’s Spring Fling. Keep this in mind if you do intend to visit the Quad.</p>
<p>I’m taking the day off on Friday, April 13th and heading down to visit Penn. And by down, I mean Penn is ten minutes from me so it isn’t a problem. I’m going regardless, I’ve already been to the actual campus once or twice and I’ve been to the Palestra a few times for basketball games. I’m in CAS as a PPE major this fall. Good lucK!!</p>
<p>i’m going on the 12th!! i’m so excited we get free stuff. i hope this helps me make my decision, right now i’m between Penn and Georgetown and i don’t know which to pick!!</p>
