My first choice by far, and I didn't anticipate that going into the tour. [View Full Report]

Charming old buildings but surprised some parts of campus had busy roads running through. I expected peaceful like Princeton or Cornell, but it feels more energetic and urban like Berkeley. [View Full Report]

Beautiful university that has a very different feel than the other Ivies we visited; more preprofessional, busy, in the present; had a vibe more like a prestigious state flagship. [View Full Report]

Campus feels great--lareg enough to feel like a university with enough action on the campus--and small enough to feel naviagable. [View Full Report]

I. Love. Penn. I may be a bit biased because I already know that I'm going there next year, but I really do think that Penn is a special place. [View Full Report]

We didn't reach Admissions before I knew this wasn't the place for me. Decided to skip Penn altogether. Looked great, but was obviously not a good fit for me. I couldn't see myself ther [View Full Report]

It was kinda grungy, but again, in decent condition considering the fact that it is urban. Locust Walk was definitely the nicest part of campus. But Huntsman Hall was the highlight of the campus! [View Full Report]

After visiting top LACs like Swarthmore, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr, Penn felt like a factory. Hard to see why anyone would choose it over any of the aforementioned except perhaps for business at Whart [View Full Report]

Nice enough, but I was not convinced that I would want to spend 4 years of my life on the campus. [View Full Report]

Some might like quiet, green campuses. Others might prefer modern, urban locations. Penn offers the best of both worlds. [View Full Report]

I think parts of Penn are nice (Locust Walk) but a majority of Penn is city with busy roads throughout campus. Its all preference. Plus there is one dining hall which kind of limits people. [View Full Report]

Penn is the most beautiful campus I have seen. There are many green areas, gorgeous buildings, and some views of Philly are incredible. [View Full Report]
