<p>If you are used to London then Philly should be no problem. It is not NYC but there are sections you don’t want to visit. The campus is mostly local students but there are Asians and Indians who seem to keep in their own small groups. Then there are the athletes. But what you said is pretty much right. The campus is nice and quiet. I always hate the whole diversity issue. Really, how diverse do you want it to be? If I was white I would rather be in a dorm with people I have something in common with then a mix of people from all over. But it doesn’t matter really. Everyone gets along ok. And Americans like English accents. </p>
