<p>Instead of responding with scathing sarcasm as was my original impulse because I’m in a bad mood, I’ll respond like this instead:
NU
Students 16,640 (10-11)[3]
Undergraduates 8,397 (10-11)[3]
Postgraduates 7,870 (10-11)[3]</p>
<p>UPenn
Undergraduates 10,337[3]
Postgraduates 10,306[3]</p>
<p>Duke
Students 13,662[8]
Undergraduates 6,400[9]
Postgraduates 7,262[9]</p>
<p>Penn’s actual campus is only 300 acres. 92 of the 990 you give are the arboretum off campus, and 600 acres are the veterinary school campus well away.</p>
<p>So one: Do better research.</p>
<p>Does campus feel cramped? Not at all. Its more or less the perfect size. I would say it would be nice if there were more dorms on campus, but no, the campus does not feel cramped. In fact, I’ve never heard of anyone ever complain about that about any school, ever. Except maybe Columbia. Certainly none that were not in a city.</p>
<p>And the quarter system is good because it is rigorous, thus better preparing you, because its flexible, allowing time off for internships more easily, and because it allows you to take a greater variety of classes and easily double and triple major.</p>
