Hi! I have a few questions about the M&T program and UPenn. I would appreciate it if someone could answer all of them. All of my research about colleges is done through such forums or university websites, so if something is wrong, I would be happy if someone corrected it.

1. I have heard that after the freshman year, students aren't guaranteed on campus housing. Is this true for M&T program attendees too? On their wikipedia page, it says that they live in a different building altogether. But do they live in that building for the entire 4 years or do they have to undergo changes in housing too?

2. How manageable is it to do 6 or 7 courses? I am pretty good at multitasking and stuff, but I have heard that the workload is quite a lot. How is the average student life in the M&T program? Say, I want to participate in a sport at the varsity level. With the workload of the program, will it be possible?

3. On another post on CC, a person said that half of the M&T class is accepted through ED. Is that true?

4. How is the UPenn campus in terms of getting around, style, etc.? I mean, I have seen photos, but I cannot find any proper videos/virtual tours online. Also, it would be better to hear from a current student or alumni about it.

I have a few more questions, but I guess that I’ll ask them once these questions get answered. Thanks in advance!
