<p>Ramses, you treat me to the White Dog some time and I’ll be more than happy to come endlessly chatter.

<p>The Penn kids I’ve known through the years have never had a problem chattering about anything, including academic subjects, politics, philosophy, the meaning of life, etc. Again, at all 3 schools (Penn, Brown, Chicago), we’re talking about thousands of kids, and I think you’d have to spend a lot of time with a lot of kids at each school to really get a feel for what they’re like. And even then, with 9600 undergrads at Penn, there really isn’t one type of kid (as you’ve seen with your writing buds). In fact, you’d no doubt find at Penn at least as many chatty kids as you’d find at Brown and Chicago.</p>
