A Parent's Perspective of the University of Pennsylvania

by jo.com Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, May 30 '00

Cons: Kids with so much money it can be intimidating.

Sansom Place West for Ugrads ... Not bad!

by amandaw99 , Sep 22 '00
Pros: quiet, safe, great location
Cons: expensive, far from friends
Where is Sansom Place West?
A lot of people on campus don't know what Sansom Place West even is. It's the old Grad Towers A & B. They are actually located over on Chestnut street, between 36th and 37th Street. This means that it is 2...

HELP!!Where should I live?

Pros: many different
Cons: many different
First off…
There are many different considerations when deciding whether to live on or off campus. Most importantly, as a freshman, you basically would be crazy not to live on campus. Most freshman either go to the Quad or Hill House, but I...

Pros: wide variety of classes

U of P

by razza28 , Jan 28 '00
Pros: Ivy League
Cons: Located in Ghetto
The University of Pennsylvania was founded in 1740. It sits on a 260-acre urban campus. It is an independent university, and of course is co-ed. I doubt I'd be telling you about it if it was a male only school! There are currently only 9,940 people...

Alumnus says: Waaaay Overrated

Pros: City setting, quality instructors even in lower-level courses
Cons: Student body of mediocre aptitude
I'll start w/ the punchline: Tho I am an alum of the University, I would not allow my own (prospective) children to attend Penn.

Reason: Tho the faculty was high quality (impeccably degreed, well-experienced, attentive to students), the...

Is Penn all it's cracked up to be?

by amandaw99 , Jan 22 '00
Pros: most professors are amazing
Cons: just not what I expected
I have been here at UPenn for a little over a year and a half. I have mixed feelings about the school, in general, which I hope to better explain here.
