Upenn social scene?

<p>Hi guys, I've been hearing lots of stereotypes about Penn lately and I want to know if they're true. I come from a really cliquey, non partying group of private school kids. I am definitely not a partier. I'm not closed minded to it at all, but I'm not like a hardcore partier that wants to get smashed 5 times a week.</p>

<p>I'm not a fan of the greek life system AT ALL, and that's my biggest issue with Penn. My high school is super cliquey, and if I got into UPenn, would the greek life make it cliquey too? Does the party scene revolve around the greek scene?</p>

<p>Anddd, what would you say the attitude of the students are? Pretentious? Overly competitive? High strung? Laid back? Easy going? Happy?</p>

<p>I really love happy laid back people, and I don't want to be in an environment where everybody is freaking out over grades and tests and life and stuff like that.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, I’ve heard that there’s a lot of Jewish/Asian students which is totally fine I don’t mind, a lot of my friends are Asian and Jewish, but I’ve heard that at UPenn, they sort of only stick to other Asians/Jewish people, which adds to my clique question. </p>

<p>Would you say everyone’s friendly?</p>
