Is there any program at Penn that allows me to take a semester at a different school?

<p>And then come back to Penn, assuming that all credits are transferrable?</p>

<p>Yeah, don’t ask me why, it’s just like… what if I just wanted to know what it was like at a completely different institution, without actually “studying abroad” in the traditional sense?</p>

<p>You have a couple options. Penn participates in the Quaker Consortium, which allows students to take courses at one of several schools in the greater Philadelphia area (including Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, and a few others I think). </p>

<p>There is also the “Washington Semester” option. I believe you are still taught Penn courses there, but you basically spend a semester working in D.C. for any of a number of employers.</p>

<p>So unless I want to go to whatever school it is in DC, the answer to my question seems to be no?</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>wait (the lightbulb has flickered in the head)…i THINK u may be able to take a semester at another school. For example, Columbia, Harvard, and MAYBE yale have a program called the “Visiting Student Program” where students from others schools can take up to a semester or two at their school and earn college credit towards their respected home college. BUT (and this is a BIG technicality), last time i checked…there’s absolutely NO FINANCIAL AID. sooooo if u can cough up like 10 grand then ur good to go :P. But then again, im not sure if penn offers this “visiting student program”. just my two cents! good luck!</p>
