I can only talk about the college. Everyone is assigned a general advisor and then further assigned other advisors when one declares majors/minors[to advise those subjects]. My major advisor is actually an assistant dean in the college, so I haven’t had to see the general advisor since I got him.

Not sure how much that helps, but you’ll be notified of everything before you arrive at Penn. My original advisor’s name was in one of the packets that Penn originally [eventually] sent out over the summer.
