[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]

Every time the subject of safety comes up, this lady^ feels compelled to screech about how suburbanites are uncool for not embracing the excitement of campuses which need a cop on every corner.

She herself probably spent about 2 days in a rough neighborhood before her parents moved her into a safer location. But she’s spent the rest of her life berating everybody who dares prioritize personal safety.

Nobody who has actually resided in a dangerous neighborhood thinks there is anything noble or glamorous about it. Indeed this lady would probably crap her Spanx if her own daughter wanted to enroll at Temple. But for some reason she’s on a crusade to make sure everybody else feels bad about caring where their kids live. [/quote]

Considering I have a kid at Penn and know it well and also have zero issues hanging in all the supposed dangerous parts of DC…you again are just regurgitating the fear mongering you see on TV because you are so scared to leave your little bubble.

Of course Temple (which isn’t the subject of this thread) is in a much different and far more dangerous part of Philly than Penn.

Penn is right on the edge of downtown and only about a mile from Rittenhouse Square which is an upscale part of Philly.

Sorry that you are afraid to leave Potomac or McLean.[/quote]

It’s so pathetic when wimps try to act tough. [/quote]

You are referring to yourself?[/quote]
