4 - Very Good	danceluvur26 August 17 2008	It is Philadelphia so I'm sure that there is LOTS to do. There were restaurants and shops immediately surrounding the campus which is cool. [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	2-iron May 28 2008	No place like DC for internships and gaining experience, save maybe NYC. Stay west of downtown and you'll be okay. [View Full Report]

3 - Good	dlesk November 01 2007	Its a nice city; downtown and other well-lit areas are very nice. but I had to be careful about the areas I chose to stroll. Some very sketchy areas. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	arachnophobia12 August 27 2007	I love Philadelphia; it's a great metropolitan city with it's own identity. It definitely doesn't deserve the bad rap it gets. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	LuckMC11 August 27 2007	philadelphia is a great city, just like new york city, so if you like a city school, you'll like upenn, though it is an actual campus unlike a school like NYU. [View Full Report]

4 - Very Good	FMHS1 June 18 2007	Philly is amazing but it was not the nicest place. It didnt have big skyscrapers that were amazing lke NYC or really old historic building like DC but it was nice and there was a lot to do there. [View Full Report]
3 - Good	honied_dreams December 22 2006	Philadelphia is a cool city, but there is definitely less going on than in New York or Chicago. Transportation is also awful. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	icantthinkofaname November 01 2006	I thought Philadelphia was very nice. I went down to Center City as well as Old City which were very nice. We took the SEPTA trolley from 37th St. (right outside the Quad) and it was very easy. [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	paro46 September 25 2006	Philly is an electrifying city - perfect for penn students. its lively and welcoming and very cool how the campus kind of bleeds right into the heart of the city [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	jason777 August 19 2006	Philly has a great location, enabling easy Chinabus travel to DC and NYC, but the city itself is also awesome. Penn is a few minutes walk from Center City, Philly's "downtown" with great shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and excitement. T [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	ivyracer August 13 2006	I think I answered this in the previous question. The non-students were fairly busy, and they seemed like go getters, with little time to stop and enjoy the nature or something. [View Full Report]
