Engineering?
Could someone comment on how good the engineering program is at UPenn and if it has anything like co-op or a good internship program?

we don't do co-op like other schools, but internship opportunities abound (lots of companies come to job fairs)

the bioengineering program is one of the best in the country (#5?), and the others are also quite good.

There's been a lot of heavy investment in nanotechnology as well.

depends on which engineering major..but BE, MEAM, CE are all very good. Starts of kinda slow freshman year but expect it to speed up very quickly. Things go really fast and you'll be very very busy. The students are also very competitive
