University of Pennsylvania Social Life

Hello! I’m a senior this year and I am going to apply to UPenn! I know it is known as the “social ivy” but partying and Greek life isn’t for me. Will I have a hard time fitting in? Thank you so much!

side note: my strategy is to join clubs and hopefully make some close friends that way!

Hi! I am currently a freshman at Penn, so I don’t know too much about the social life yet, but from what I’ve encountered there is a good mix of those who want to go out and those who don’t. I personally do not drink or go to parties, and I have found some like-minded people and we have movie nights and go out to eat and things like that! It might be hard at first because it may seem like everyone is going out and partying but there are definitely people who do not party. Good luck with the application process!
