<p>im thinking of applying to penn..how is the diversity there regarding ethnicity?</p>
<p>i might be completely misinformed, but ive heard that people tend to be racist there. is this true?
on a lighter note, how's the food? :P
thanks!</p>
<p>Absolutely not true about the racism… of the entire Ivy League, we have the highest percentage of international students. Campus is very diverse. There are cultural groups for people of all backgrounds, and those groups are very popular, but it’s not clique-y at all, as people typically also join other extracurriculars as well.</p>
<p>The dining hall food is better than other schools that I’ve visited (looking at you, Johns Hopkins). It’s all pretty good, but sometimes it can get repetitive. The dining halls that operate on dining dollars instead of meal swipes definitely have better food… I never get tired of going to Houston. Also, the food trucks around campus provide a really easy alternative if you’re getting sick of cafeteria food. And Wawa.</p>
<p>Just to add, on my visit I saw some awesome and diverse food trucks around the outskirts of campus. My tour guide said those tend to be popular among the students.</p>
<p>^ There’s even a web site devoted to the Penn food trucks, which offer a much greater variety and quality of food than many people might imagine when they hear of food served from trucks:</p>
