I love the community at penn… You really do make a ton of friends, and even though it’s impossible to know everyone, you’ll see familiar faces everywhere.

About the highrises… don’t live there as a freshman (my personal opinion…) The problem with them is that it’s mostly upperclass students with pre-established groups of friends. In Hill and the Quad and such, people will always have their door open, and people will be hanging out in the common areas (or at least in hill they do… )… but in the highrises, everyone has their own living room and such so people tend to not interact as much.
so, I’d say go with Hill or the Quad for freshman year (if you want a single, that’s cool… you’ll still make plenty of friends) and go with the highrises your sophomore year
