3 - Good	Malinaccier April 19 2009	Generally pretty good. One of the people in the admissions office was kind of abrasive, and the staff of the bookstore were impatient, but no real complaints. [View Full Report]

4 - Very Good	swissmiss3 March 08 2009	We finished at Villanova earlier than expected, so my mom figured we could drive to Penn and get on their last tour/info session. Called admissions for directions and they helped lots! [View Full Report]

2 - Fair	bclintonk July 27 2008	Staff seemed overwhelmed trying to herd 800 or so visitors through on a hot Saturday in July. We felt like sheep, but there's probably nothing more they could have done. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	2-iron May 28 2008	Really great staff. My mom went to Fordham, and despite her/my...uh...Jewishness/not Catholicness...she says all the Jesuits she has met are fantastic people. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	rubybrett April 23 2008	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. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	esobay April 15 2008	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. [View Full Report]

4 - Very Good	jason777 August 19 2006	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 [View Full Report]
3 - Good	ivyracer August 13 2006	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. [View Full Report]
