Sat in on a Bio 102 lecture. The teacher was not engaged and neither were his students - I saw several playing games on their laptops or sleeping.

Penn offers numerous different courses to attend. I sat in on several Wharton classes, assessing the teaching quality and student involvement (both of which deserve high marks!)

Classes seemed well equipped. The Calculus 3 class I sat in on wasn't amazing...class wasn't really paying attention to the prof (it was a friday afternoon)

The classrooms at Penn are all really nice (especially the Wharton buildings) and new-looking.

I had lectures at Leidy Labs (right by Quad). We had the only lecurture hall there which was pretty big and had a huge projector and it was pretty standard of what one would expect at college.

Campus security was mad! lol. Wharton rooms are very high-tech.

We didn't go to any classrooms, which was a bummer, but it was understandable because admissions tours don't let you see anything

The classrooms were tiered off so that everyone had an equal view.The professors have so much technology at their fingertips.You press a button and the A/C changes, another and the blinds go down.

I went to Intro Psych with Shatee (sp?). It was an amazing class (though very large) and he seemed like a great teacher.

Make sure to visit an upper level class--this will give yo ua real chance to sample the intellectual flavor at Penn. See a class in the area you are considering for your major.
