Well. If you can handle a heavy load of work + study then a lot of Penn offers student-workers position. I have plenty of friends who are international students here and they all work 20 hours/week earning $700-$1000 per month. But I don’t really know if you can work in the first semester. Btw, you said you expect $4,000 + fin aid only? Considering that Penn costs $60,000 per year, this means you can pay $56,000? If that’s the situation, you should not worry. Stay away from parties and live frugally and save a few grands per year!
