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

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.
