I asked one professor if I could sit in on her class. She said no (it was a grad class) but then brought me to an undergrad class that was much more helpful and revealing.

Staff needs to make it clear that tours are for kids (or not )if they really are like a high school tour NOT an admitted student tour. Not what my D expected.

Penn's admission staff is genuinely interested in helping prospective students. If they cannot help you directly, they will go out of their way to make sure someone can!

The staff members I met were all very kind and helpful, whether they were discussing Penn, answering questions, or just saying hi.

I really didn't talk to the staff much, but the woman at the front desk seemed nice.

Everybody was very nice and helpful, and before the info session every prospective student was given a bag with information about Penn in it.

The staff was obviously very capable and practically exuded pride in Penn.

The staff is trying to do everything they can to make the students comfortable. Since it's a large university, it's hard to achieve perfection in terms of staff courtesy and approachability, but Penn comes very close. Talk to the cashier ladie

The staff was kind, but quite abrupt. They weren't ecstatic about seeing all of us prospectives crowded in a small room, but they answered questions and things like that.
