<p>basically just wireless internet</p>
<p>don’t the dorms provide wireless internet anyway??? u don’t have 2 bring any plugs 4 it to work, right?</p>
<p>correct :)</p>
<p>You need to set up wifi at Penn with an ITA in your dorm. After that you’re good to go.</p>
<p>People people we need to focus on the task at hand…bashing Penn for bad marketing, not good wifi!</p>
<p>Penn doesn’t have good wifi. </p>
<p>Anyway, if we can just cure cancer at our med school or the Wistrar institute or somewhere else on campus (hell even the dental school or vet school) we’ll be bigger than Harvard.</p>
<p>how fast is the internet/wifi at Penn?</p>
<p>Internet speed is fine. Wifi is fine when you get it. Freshman year my computer didn’t get it in my dorm room (my friend across the hall had the same issue, me on my lenovo and him on his macbook pro) and in random classrooms like Meyerson B1 it can be tough to get. Also, Air Penn Net apparently doesn’t like iPhones because you have to manually reconnect to it after you get your phone out of idle mode.</p>
<p>Having said that, there is nearly 100% wireless coverage on campus (in all buildings and near all buildings anyway) and I’ve never had issues with the speed.</p>
<p>Honestly…Most of the undergrad programs in the Ivies are overhyped in my opininon…not claiming to be an expert. the best undergrad Ivy programs are definitely Princeton, Columbia, and UPenn. But most people only want to go to UPenn for Wharton. I have super smart friends with perfect GPAs and 34 ACTs who wont touch Harvard and Yale unless its for law school or medical school…And this pseudo-Ivy thing is laughable. Penn and Cornell are fine institutions, but is not their fault they don’t have commercial appeal like HYP. My first cousin goes to Cornell, and he gets tired of explaining to people the prestige of the school…So I’d appreciate it…If everyone…would just… SHUT UP. lol.</p>
<p>lots of ppl go to penn for other things besides wharton. i have tons of non-wharton friends, who go for research opportunities, location, honors programs, dual degree options etc. etc.</p>
<p>i don’t know how u came up w/ the best undergrad programs. penn, yes. columbia and princeton? not in my opinion.</p>
<p>but, as i mentioned earlier, no problems w/ ivy status w/ penn. i usually just tell ppl i’m going 2 penn (i’m studying at the wharton school) and people always congratulate me profusely, so i don’t know where u got yr info from but i would just worry about getting in, at this point.</p>
<p>oh yes, and we should most definitely cure cancer, but the problem is, even if we did, we probably wouldn’t talk about it</p>
<p>Somehow we invented the first computer but don’t have a top 10 CS department. We need to get our priorities straight.</p>

<p>Come closer so I can pummel you with a large damp sea bass.</p>
<p>hahahhaa… I like the part where you said, “pummel you with a large damp sea-bass”. :)</p>
<ol>
<li>Change name from “University of Pennsylvania” to “Wharton University” </li>
<li>Consistently refer to itself as “The First University of America” and not “One of the Oldest”</li>
<li>Work towards establishing a rivalry with Princeton that can be comparable to that of Harvard and Yale.</li>
<li>Improve sports teams, namely rowing and football.</li>
<li>Relocate from Philadelphia to New York City (lol jk but seriously…)</li>
<li>Start placing Wharton University into teen angst movies. For instance, in X teen movie, “Oh my god Beverly my Wharton rejection letter came into the mail yesterday, xo xo xo i’m so sad cri cri let’s go to starbucks.”</li>
<li>Curing cancer in the med school wouldn’t be bad.</li>
<li>Dump acid on half of the buildings on campus (you know, the ugly ones)</li>
<li>Have a real mascot. Quakers remind people of oatmeal. And *** is up with the weird fish thing on the shield?</li>
<li>Increase size of library so Penn can boast, “We have the largest library.” And STOP telling everyone on tours that Harvard won’t lend to you. It only makes you look worse and Harvard look better.</li>
</ol>
<p>I love Penn. I’m just poking fun. Don’t flame me -hides face-</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ha…</p>
<p>But this just happened on my Princeton tour…</p>
<p>I like the name “Franklin University” over “Wharton University”. I guess Wharton is an already credible name, though.</p>
<p>Franklin and Marshall would conflict. I believe Penn has enough name-conflict with Penn State as it is.</p>
<p>PeNN is not a good school!!</p>
<p>and ShaWN WhiTE is a terrible snowboarder!!</p>
