<p>Thanks for the responses! I understand that Penn has a unique way of bringing foreign language studies to their studies. My tour guide told me that if you can get a few more people to join you, you can request that the school bring a speaker of any language (if the language is not already available at Penn) to the school in order to learn the language. Do you have any idea of whether or not other private universities do this too? I think this is an amazing service that truly shows how far Penn will go to teach their students. What kind of grade inflation is there? Does the majority of the class (for most courses) receive an A or B? Thanks so far for the info!</p>
