This is not at all an accurate assessment of UPenn. There is definitely an intellectual culture AND an arts culture at the school. It is one of the reasons my D23 picked it!
She’s made friends in their art and in fact many of her peers are involved in different arts endeavors! In fact a brand new Arts center is opening in the next 2 yrs that will expand arts even more than the current Annenberg and Platt performing centers.
Just because there is a reputation of wharton kids does not mean that there is no intellectualism at Penn. D has friends at UChicago and Northwestern and all have intellectual kids and overlapping arts kids , and all have premed gunners and prelaw people, and have “finance” types obsessed with certain internships. .
OP , visit and make your own assessment. This caricature of UPenn students is not accurate
