[quote=Anonymous]I went to Yale because at the time I was naive and didn’t know Penn existed. Since graduation, my personal and professional lives have brought me into the orbit of faculty and students. I LOVE Penn and am probably the school’s biggest non-alum cheerleader. Philadelphia is way more vibrant that it was 20 years ago and is so accessible from campus. Penn is big enough that it doesn’t feel claustrophobic by junior year. It’s size also means that there is more space to find your place- a smaller school like Yale has a high percentage of athletes and not a huge depth of other activities, so if you’re not one of the top actors/musicians/singers/athletes/etc., you can end up without access to extracurriculars that might be an important part of your life. Penn also has more social opportunities because of its larger student body, and a history of coeducation that changes campus and alumni culture when compared to places like Yale and Dartmouth. There are great local internship and job opportunities, too.[/quote]
