<p>I think it’s just a matter of fit, but I wasn’t speaking quiet and monastic. More like excited chatter as class room discussion morphs into down time. I noticed at Brown as well as Chicago that there doesn’t seem a fear of letting your geek flag fly. Penn kids seem to hang, closely guarding their out of class time from stuff like that.</p>
<p>Of course my writing buds are an endless stream of chatter at the White Dog…but that could be because I often treat:)</p>
