[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No question Penn.  [b]As long as you don’t stray [/b]Philly is a nice city.  Other quality schools near by like Villanova if you wind up not liking Penn and they don’t abuse their cheerleaders  https://dailynorthwestern.com/2023/09/24/campus/judge-allows-sex-trafficking-claim-against-nu-cheer-to-proceed/ [/quote]

Being on the Penn campus feels like you’re in the wilderness surrounded by places you don’t want to go. There’s a reason cops are so prevalent. Northwestern is in a really safe area where you can focus on your studies & not worry about other things.[/quote]

There are clearly folks on DCUM that are afraid of cities.  Not sure why you need to weigh in with stupid posts.

If you are fine with going to college in the equivalent of Bethesda (= Evanston) with respect to DC…that’s great.  Many kids would find that fairly boring.

Penn is a short walk from the edge of downtown Philly…you walk across the river and that’s where it starts.  Plenty of kids are making this walk or scootering.

That said, the locations of the two schools and the suburban vs urban environment are the easiest things to figure out.[/quote]

Going to school in Bethesda would be great if DC had as much to offer as Chicago.  It doesn’t come close.  [/quote]

Explain…give examples of what Chicago offers that is so unique or better.

More importantly, give examples that would resonate with any college kid.[/quote]

The food scene in Chicago is world renowned and you can eat really well for a reasonable price if you know where to go. Culture-music (there is an outdoor venue called Ravinia that is like Wolf Trap only better), great Jazz scene (Kingston Mines), sports (Wrigley so fun in spring and summer), museums (Field and Shedd aquarium), Navy Pier, great shopping (Michigan Ave)-should I go on? Plus, a great place to live in your 20’s as a young professional in Lincoln Park or Lakeview with lots of other young people starting their careers.[/quote]

I have lived in lots of cities and you could say the same thing about all of them.[/quote]
