What do you love about Penn?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>I was accepted last week, and I've been interested in knowing-- why did you decide Penn? If you already attend, what do you love about it?</p>

2

<p>The campus, the city, the people, the distance, the opportunities, the freedom.</p>

3

<p>I chose Penn because I wanted to experience something new. There are so many opportunities in Philadelphia. Not only will I get a great education, but I will be able to go to sporting events, clubs, clothing stores, and different restaurants.</p>

4

<p>locust walk. and the fact that they have the most social engineers i have seen anywhere.</p>

5

<p>Everything under the sun. The only problems I have with it are the lack of an applied math major and the fact that we don't have the most attractive student body. You can't have it all though.</p>

<p>I always hate when people say this. I've visited every Ivy and a few other top-25 schools, and Penn definitely has more attractive women than most of those places. I remember Brown, Yale and Williams having some pretty hot girls.</p>

<p>It can't compare to places like ASU, USC, the SEC as a whole conference, etc. etc. We make up for it with the whole academics and prestige thing though.</p>

<p>Penn doesn't have the most attractive student body!!! I agree with Venkat! Compared to Arizona State, Florida State, and other schools like that... Penn is crap.</p>

9

<p>Compared to middle-of-the-road state schools we're pretty ugly, but I think we're pretty good compared to other top 20 schools except Duke. It doesn't really matter. It's not like an average-looking guy/girl has a better chance of dating someone hot at ASU, USC, etc. People mix with their own here, just like anywhere else. You're just missing better scenery as you walk around.</p>

<p>There seems to be a correlation between the quality of a school and the attractiveness of the student body.</p>

11

<p>dude why would you compare penn with
arizona state...</p>

12

<p>It's really not that hard to understand. Let's say 15% of the population is smart, and 15% is what we would consider attractive. Not many people are both. It's just simple statistics.</p>

13

<p>statistics ftw</p>

14

<p>Everything, save for the (gradually dwindling) population of natives.</p>

<p>Gentrification ftw!</p>
