<p>is Penn do anythign that Yale does to keep it tightly knit. I know Yale does residential housing.</p>
<p>just curious.</p>
<p>in my opinion, Penn’s kinda spread out, due to its various colleges and size (Philly).</p>
<p>There are a number of clubs of course and a variety of residential programs in the different college houses. If you sign up for one (and get in), you’ll be living with people of similar interests.</p>
<p>Not only are there residential programs, cultural student associations tend to bring students of the same culture/interest closer together.</p>
<p>You will end up very tightly knit with some group, be it your freshman housemates, your cultural/whatever group friends, people who share your major or other things, your frat (if you choose).</p>
<p>There is no one set way of creating a tight-knit community at Penn–but there are several tightly-knit communities. You just have to find one that you like.</p>
<p>I think the sports scene is bigger than it is at Yale (following your example). By that I mean, more people attend games regularly.
And there’s the toast throwing :)</p>
<p>I would like to add that if you can’t find yoru own tight-knit community, then you suck.</p>
<p>I hope that remark wasn’t directed at me invading the Penn board when I am not a Quaker? :(</p>
<p>no no, of course not!! it was just a roundabout and typically evil east coaster way of saying that it’s very very easy to find your own community here</p>
<p>lol great. I plan to crash many penn parties :p</p>
