<p>Wharton, location, competition/academics, dormlife, nearby attractions/things to do on the weekends, weather, diversity, % of hot girls (just kidding), general reputation, rumors, etc.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Its a great school. It was my number 1 and the only reason I didn't go was because my family couldn't afford it. If you can, by all means: go. There is no better undergrad business school in the nation imo. Wharton is incredible. Its in Philadelphia so a mindboggling pletora nearly attractions are standard.. Weather is... well... east coast weather (make of that what you will). General reputation: superb. It's an Ivy, though not as "snobby" as some consider princeton/yale/harvard to be. Overall, it;s an incredible school. If you are truly interested, visit! :)</p>
<p>You know, despite all the stuff people are gonna tell you, a visit cannot compete.</p>
<p>Time difference from my place is exactly 12 hours :( which means I probably won't have the chance to visit.</p>
<p>a lot of us go to penn and so we know a lot.</p>
<p>therefore asking specific questions, one at a time, is probably better - that way you'll find out what you really want to know.</p>
<p>I'm from Europe and I really enjoy the party/club/bar scene here.
Philly seems to be a city that provides many attractions but are they also accessible for students?
I don't care whether I can drink or not but I'd really like if I could go out on the weekends to dance and chill in decent clubs. Is this possible? Are there students who go out in the city or do people just stay on campus and drink until they vomit?</p>
<p>Just visit. Twelve hours may seem like a hurdle, but trust me, the visit is totally worth it. I visited over the summer, and I knew that it's where I wanted to go!</p>
<p>Rister...yes, the attractions are accessible. Freshmen don't make the effort to leave as much, but plenty of people still go off to nice restaurants, clubs and bars in Center City, South Street, etc. You may have to work harder to find people who want to go out but not drink, but I'm sure it's possbile. Plenty of people do just stay on/around campus and drink, sometimes til they vomit, but the frat scene is really good. There's usually music and a lot of people dancing so that may satisfy your desire for a club.</p>
