<pre><code>[li] What is the housing like?[/li] -I was looking on their website and the dorms looked really good but then I went to college p r o w l e r and alot of people said they were crappy, especially the freshman dorms. However this is not what it seemed on the Penn website...So what are they really like?
[li] What are students like?[/li] -Is it kinda a nerdy environment? Or are most people more worried about partying?
[li] Like can you just tell me about Penn?[/li]</code></pre>
<p>Sorry for asking a lot but actually anything will help THANK YOU! [/ul]</p>
<p>I have family that went there and all of the dorms I ever had to visit were nice. I mean sure there are some nerdy kids but it’s known as the biggest partying ivy and I think that it’s def shown in the kids. Everyone is really smart but they are really fun smart people it seems. Philly is a really nice city to be in too but if you start to head a few blocks past the campus that area is a bit sketchy but nothing that should stop you from going to the school.</p>
<p>They’ve renovated a lot of the dorms recently so they should all be pretty nice. I don’t really see how you could classify an entire student body since everyone is so different, but I’m pretty it’s a similar mix of students you’d see at other Ivies.</p>
<p>I think Penn is a great school that has steadily climbed in ranking/reputation in recent years. Their endowment has done well, application numbers are up, yield is up. I’m expecting great things from Penn in the coming years.</p>
