CAS has a few distribution requirements. it’s not brown, but it’s not columbia. it’s enough for you to take classes that you want to take and avoid ones you don’t want to take. there are cores for engineering and wharton though.
Yes.

There are MANY libraries at penn…all of them are pretty good.
definitely.
