Princeton is very isolated and stuffy. Penn is open and welcoming. College p r-o-w-l-e - r (all one word, it can’t be written on here) really reveals the difference. People express their love for Penn. One person even wants to go to the law school so that he can stay, but writing about Princeton, someone said that it’s just too demanding too enjoy. I didn’t want that out of a college experience.
I mean I’ve seen a lot of colleges and there’s no place where I’d rather spend these four years. It’s kind of difficult to describe but Penn seems almost magical. Sometimes I’ll just get on the train, transfer three times, over a 3.5-4 hour ride, just to get to Penn. Even though the hustle and bustle of the campus aren’t present, I feel almost like I’m in Oz.
Even the alcohol survey that we had to do was infused with life and began with Penn students singing Michael Jackson: “my mother always told me be careful what you do. don’t go around…”
