Different Ivy. You've probably heard of it.

Better. Locust Walk? Trees growing in the middle of concrete. Really? Not that nice.

Better : That means Y, H, C for law. True. All notably better.

Sorry. it just did not feel like an intellectual place withstudents committed to intellectual ideas in some Renaissance type of way to savor ideas and to analyze ideas.

The Penn campus felt pre-professional. when I visited Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Brown campuses they felt like a cultured intellectual place where peeling away the layers of an idea felt very much as if this approach hovered over the campuses.

Is Harvard all that intellectual any more with half the class going into investment banking?

Penn has Wharton which is great. Rest of Penn is equal to Cornell. Feel bad for the student body that always have a chip on should vis a vis Wharton kids

Cornell is nicer than Penn.

All the other Ivy League campuses have a definite intellectual feel to them which inspires creative thinking and ideas popping off like bubbles from a bottle of champagne. Inspiring; one's IQ feels to rise instantly by ten points when one enters these campuses

Penn has a pre-professional feel about the campus, in contrast to the others. But, this is exactly what its founder been Ben Franklin envisaged - a practical education and hence today a pre-professional feel to the place.

You mean' ideas popping off like bubbles from an uncorked bottle of champagne.'


Yes, this description feels true for the Ivy campuses that I visited : Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth all had that feel.

Not so sure about Cornell because buildings are too spread out.

Penn felt very much like a pre-professional campus place. a little like GW University with its walk-through area. Both are OK, but the above-mentioned campuses are quite stimulating.

I noticed a lot of intellectual conversation going on when I walked along Locust Walk. I expected to experience the stereotype described above but the student population was MUCH more diverse than that.

It didn’t.

I’m sorry to break it to you.

I don't understand why people are so intent on bashing schools on here (not just on this thread, but also similar ones on DCUM). If the school wasn't right for you or your kid, fine. Move on. No school is for everyone. But at that point, why do you care about putting it down to other people? And so vehemently? Seriously, why do you care?

Agree, Wharton is good, but rest of Penn is pretty vanilla. Comparable to Cornell
