Out of Upenn SEAS, Brown and Dartmouth which school is best for an introvert? I’m planning to apply ED to one of them and i hate introductory classes and overly linking with others, if that counts and im not a party guy AT ALL.In which college can i have a lot of anonymity without any sort of problems?
since you seem to want a medium size school look at Carnegie Mellon
http://www.cmu.edu/index.shtml
I do not think of dartmouth as a school for introverts or brown either.(penn not sure one way or another)
@zobroward what about UPenn SEAS? Is it any good for people like me? Thanks for the suggestion either way 
I do not know anything about penn good or bad. are you looking to be left alone or are you quirky and do not want to be judged? (or both)
@zobroward honestly, both.
Carnegie Mellon is an amazing school in many fields and is full of super smart quirky people. and Pittsburgh is a great place.
what do you think you want to major in?
@zobroward I think i want to major in Computer Science. any suggestions?
I’ve heard Penn called the “social Ivy,” and it has a fairly large Greek life.
@zobroward thanks, your help is really appreciated!
@bodangles then what is the ivy which can help me become more anonymous ? or the introvert-ivy? 
also a smaller school but maybe a good fit

I wouldn’t know, I only applied to one. 
Good luck with your search!
@bodangles which one did you apply to?
Do you really want to live in a dorm, or would you only do it if you have to? If you live near any good universities, you might consider applying to them (maybe as safety schools, since you seem to only have reaches in mind) because you could commute. I’m a commuter student because I happen to live close to the most prestigious college I could get into and afford, but I’ve realized that I probably wouldn’t have liked living in a dorm because I want to be completely alone sometimes and it’s hard to do that with a roommate.
If you hate introductory classes, I would also recommend looking at schools that would give you credit for AP and/or dual-enrollment classes. Another option is to start at a community college and then transfer—I think the environment at CCs is good for introverts because the students don’t care as much about socializing. This won’t work for everyone because community colleges have really limited course options, but it works for some people.
Being an introvert doesn’t equal shy, so I assume when you look at smaller schools, as opposed to state universities, you don’t have a problem speaking up in class. D1 went to small, highly rated LAC and D2 to honor college at big U that means she has smaller classes, but for both of these grades are pretty dependent on participation. D1’s school had spring term where most classes had group projects.
I think an introvert can do well and enjoy any school. D1 is definitely one but mostly in terms of needing her own down time (outgoing in classroom situations). Having her own room helped, plus finding ‘timeout’ spaces on campus, such as the piano rehearsal rooms. Piano was also a stress reliever.
IMO you have to take into account whole experience - may want to look at large schools with honors programs. In D2’s program even intro classes are smaller (she had 1 75+ class in 4 years, most 30 or less, many 15 or less). But you have option of including a few larger classes where you can disappear. Look for schools with options of single rooms or ability to have year-long assigned study cube. Look for schools with solitary activity options, like good places to run or practice instrument, etc.
You said you’re not party guy but what would you do in spare time? Do you want films, speakers series, etc that are not participatory? Again, not sure these should be deal breakers. Do some visits and attend some classes. Don’t use your HS experience as measuring stick for college. Visit a small class and see if you like the level of interaction. Visits will help you develop a better sense of must haves.
Based on the way you’ve described yourself and what you are looking for in the college experience Penn is an unlikely match. Even as a CS major at Penn you will need to take courses outside of engineering (see: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/undergraduate/handbook/courses/ssh-requirements.php). Some of these may be of an “introductory” nature, although there are few, if any, simple introductory courses at Penn. Classes are relatively small, and if not, they are divided in small “tutorial” like sections. Like the other Ivies, student life at Penn centers around social interactions.
You may find what you are looking for in a large public university.
I am a parent but I am also extremely introverted. I find it easier to be anonymous in large crowds, so go to a large school you will stand out more at a small school. Eating alone in a traditional dining hall might be tough, so either find a group of other quirky people to dine with or find a housing option that doesn’t require it.
Big state schools are also usually party schools, more so than smaller ones, so that shouldn’t really be taken into much consideration since peer pressure is huge even if you’re nerdy and awkward.
I found setting is more indicative of social scene: you’ll find that in suburban and rural schools on-campus activities are really important and encouraged. There is just nothing else to do in the immediate surroundings, so students stay on campus always, which is great for most people. In urban settings, however, students tend to hang out off campus and aren’t usually expected to participate in on-campus events, which is great for introverts like us.
A whole lot of small LACs are also party schools and it’s sometimes the only thing going on. Big state schools do have party reputations but the 15,000-25,000 students there are not all partying. I think you have more options of different types of people to hang with at large schools. If you want small, it’s more important to pick school where you like entire feel since fewer people are going to go against whatever the vibe of that school is. D1 loved her LAC and the atmosphere, but when going to party of week didn’t appeal there wasn’t as much to do. As Jr and Sr it wasn’t as much an issue, since most students had gotten over the party stuff and were more likely to just hang out together on weekends.
