| I'm a Harvard student, but I'm from Philly and my brother goes to Penn. Personally, I absolutely LOVE Penn's campus (it's my second favorite behind Harvard). The campus isn't necessarily small, but the best thing about it is that Penn's grounds are very defined--you know when you're in random parts of west Philly versus when you're actually on campus, which is awesome because you have a great campus feel even though you're right in one of the best cities in the world (from a biased Philadelphian's view, of course haha). It never feels crowded, I know from experience and my brother's opinions. There are definitely quiet areas--Philly is much different than NYC in terms of noise, not to mention you're on a college campus, so there are lots of places to go. Locust Walk is great, the quad is beautiful, etc. (Can you tell I have a soft spot for Penn? ha) |
