It was way prettier than I anticipated. It looks exactly like what I think about when I hear "college." [View Full Report]

The campus is absolutely beautiful. I went when Spring was starting, so the cherry blossom trees were bloomed, making it pretty picturesque. I could tell that the campus is beautiful every season. [View Full Report]

Big campus nicely integrated into Philadelphia. The brick walkways are all gorgeous, interesting architecture. Much easier to find my way around than other big campuses I have been to. [View Full Report]

Lot of construction going on (summer). Campus is beautiful, with lots of green space. Huge squirrels! [View Full Report]

A lovely campus in general, but a bit 'scruffy', ie lots of litter, not really well kept grounds. [View Full Report]

CLean, and urban campus that felt more like a "campus" than urban, very walkable. [View Full Report]

I LOVE THE PENN CAMPUS. It's not for everyone, though. In terms of upkeep, it looked great. No trash on the ground or anything like that. [View Full Report]

I was downright amazed by the architecture as well as the greenery. Luckily I made it towards the beginning of fall and saw the leaves change. [View Full Report]

It was good for being smack in the middle of Philadelphia. Locust Walk was pretty nice, but the rest was so-so. [View Full Report]

The most beautiful Gothic buildings I have seen anywhere. The dorms facing the river are also spectacular. You can actually walk down the hillside fronting the river on top of these dorms' roofs. [View Full Report]

More urban than I thought it would be, but certain areas were still traditional-looking. I liked the commercial-ish district [View Full Report]

Having a beautiful, Ivy green campus in the middle of a major urban location is priceless! My only regret was that there was a little construction going on during my visit. [View Full Report]

I think Penn has a beautiful campus, even though it's in the middle of a big city. Locust Walk, that goes through the middle of campus, is very nice, as there are trees and grass all around. [View Full Report]

I love Penn's campus. It's like an urban town. There really seems like there is a resemblance of community that you feel from the campus. [View Full Report]

See Campus Tour Section. In addition though, the quad was amazingly green and oh so old but sophisticated and Locust Walk was in the center of everything. Truly amazing. [View Full Report]

Penn is gorgeous, especially in the spring, when everything is green and the sun is shining. [View Full Report]

BEAUTIFUL! The prettiest one I've seen. The buildings, although of different styles (some are modern, many are collegiate gothic), mix well together, and nothing is horrendously ugly. Also, there are many distinctive statues and sculptures around cam [View Full Report]

Penn doesn't have the unified theme of some other schools. There is a very distinctive mix of buildings. However, I find this very attractive and think it's nice to have a class in a building that looks like a castle and then head to the ultra [View Full Report]

I loved the campus itself. The buildings were nicely kept and seemed very picturesque. The campus is kinda hectic though since it's intertwined with downtown Philly, and there's a lot of interaction there. [View Full Report]
