<p>Hey everyone, CAS '18 student here! Before too long it'll be time to begin course registration for this fall, and as I've researched my options, I've grown more and more intrigued by Penn's Urban Studies program, specifically its joint-degree option with a concentration in real estate from Wharton. How popular are Urban Studies classes at Penn? Could any current students shine some light on the content and goals of the class? It truly sounds like a unique program that embodies Penn's ideology of integrating several different fields of study, and being in Philadelphia seems like the perfect way to apply the concepts of the program in a practical way — the kind of learning that drew me to Penn in the first place. Any and all insight is appreciated! Thanks!</p>
