Some things I learned in my first year at Penn

<p>Rising dual-degree Junior here and I agree with everything pointed out by zentiger, particularly the Wharton dichotomy. </p>

<p>@abudhabi-mama: Philadelphia is, honestly, quite a negative. It doesn’t have the awesome, relatively safe, packed to the brim with activities, urban environment of New York and nor does it have the beautiful surroundings of Hanover (Dartmouth). It’s just meh. I like to frequent Gaybourhood and the BYOs on the weekends to get away from campus. But yeah most students see Philly as a negative, probably because it’s quite unsafe and dirty.</p>
