My tour guide was a nursing student and I'm not interested in that, but she was helpful with all of the schools so it was still great! [View Full Report] |

Very organized, provided ponchos for everyone, as it was raining. Great tour guide; asked students what they were interested in learning more about, and then made sure she covered that. [View Full Report] |

Our tour was led by a student wearing a muscle shirt who knew very little about the academics of his school, specifically my son's areas of interest. [View Full Report] |

Average, nice girl though. It was an absolutely beautiful day--80degrees plus in early April--so campus was jumping. Group was WAY too big. [View Full Report] |

Knowledgeable student giving the tour. Interesting traditions including toasting the football team and such. Made Penn seem like a lot of fun and spirited. [View Full Report] |

We had a great tour guide, and I didn't go on one of the tours that's specialized for a certain school (ex: Wharton tour) but it was still a very informative tour. [View Full Report] |

Gorgeous Campus, loved it all. Led by a pretty entertaining student, 3rd year, Wharton. I explored by myself later and learned even more. [View Full Report] |

Our guide was double majoring in engineering and the College. She seemed to really like Penn and talked about some of its quirky traditions. [View Full Report] |

Our tour guide was knowledgeable, informative, and personable. I think it helped that she's a native Philadelphian as she lent many insights into the city as well as the school. [View Full Report] |

Led by a fairly articulate student, but the campus itself outshined anything he could say. [View Full Report] |

Lovely campus, as one would expect from an Ivy. The tour guide was certainly enthusiastic & cheerful. [View Full Report] |

Huntsman Hall was beautiful; students were all around. We covered a pretty general area, got to see the Quad. The campus had a very city-like feel, as expected [View Full Report] |

Because the tour guides are trained rigorously, they will be very knowledgeable! Penn offers several tour guides at a time, each from different schools and majors. [View Full Report] |

We took a tour of the entire campus and spent some time in many of the buildings. Our tour guide was really helpful in explaining the importance/function of each building and student life on campus. [View Full Report] |

the tour was informative, and the campus was nice. its all on one long pathway in philadelphia and in the center of city life, though you don't need to really leave the campus ever. [View Full Report] |

It was great. My tour guide was a Huntsman student which is the program I'm interested in, so that worked out well. [View Full Report] |

The tour guide was really cool. I was fortunate to get someone who was in Wharton (where I am thinking of transferring to). I think it's important to talk to people in your interest. [View Full Report] |

the entire campus was absolutely gorgeous. i would have liked to be shown inside some more buildings but the proximity of the city and the beauty of the courtyards overshadowed any complaints i had. [View Full Report] |

Like the info sessions, the campus tours range widely. During the peak months of July/August, you may be on a tour with 100 other people and barely able to hear your guide. If you go any other month, you may have a private tour. The tour guides vary wi [View Full Report] |

Honestly, our tour guide was helpful, but he kept on repeating what the admissions counselor already said, so the group kept on smirking. He answered all the questions nicely though. [View Full Report] |
