is this good or bad?
Hello,
I would like to learn more about the type of students and teachers at
Penn/Wharton. Could you please simply describe to me the differences in
course-load and homework between a typical freshman at the College and a
typical freshman at Wharton?
Also, what is the intra-relationships between the students–do most freshman
know most other freshman or at least know of them? i.e. how different is it
from a typical high school “family” setting?
Thank you for reading my long (and confusing) questions!

Oh, one more question. I know that Penn is a school filled with life (the
party ivy). Do teachers ever party with the students?

reply:
ear Felix,
To understand the course load of a typical freshman in the College you will have
to contact the College of Arts and Sciences. Wharton freshman typically take
the following courses:
Fall
ECON 001
MATH 104
MGMT 100
Language
Writing
Spring
ECON 002
OPIM 101
STAT 101
Language
Liberal Arts
There are 2500 members in each entering freshman class at Penn and Wharton
typically has 500 freshman so it is unlikely that you will know all of the
freshman of know of them. You will certainly know the people that you have
class with - from all of the four undergraduate schools at Penn - as well as
those who live in your College House and those who are in your Orientation
group. So you definitely have the opportunity right off the bat to meet other
freshman from different schools and different college houses, but you will not
know all 500 Wharton freshman or all 2500 Penn freshman.
Penn is known as the social ivy and our students definitely appreciate the
balance that they have between their academic and social lives. However, this
does not extend to faculty members as it would be extremely inappropriate for
them to party with students. I’m shocked that someone would even ask that
question.
If you need anything else, please let me know.
Thank you,
Tiffany
