<p>Penn is definitely more career-oriented, having 3 of the 4 undergrad colleges being considered “professional.” Nursing, engineering, and business are geared towards getting hired. Vassar probably would be better, but not for $40,000 more debt. Is the $10,000 difference going to be hard for the family? If not, go with Vassar, if it is going to be debt, I’d take Penn.</p>
