<p>I’ve come to many people who prounounce Wharton in different ways.</p>

<p>When I was at Penn, people just prounounce wharton as the usual way
(Whar Tdon)</p>

<p>On Penn’s vidoes, they pronounce it Whaar tdon</p>

<p>On the google’s wharton video, it’s pronounced whaar ton</p>

<p>some of my teachers prounounce it whartdon, or whaar ton</p>

<p>so which is the right way?</p>
