Not PP, but I know two Chicago students that transferred to Penn's arts and sciences college. Philly is gritty, but not Hyde Park gritty - and the kids aren't mostly depressed. People act like these schools are just interchangeable widgets, but they're in real distinct locations, full of distinct students, with somewhat distinct outcomes.[/quote]

You are clearly ignorant about the ground realities at Penn. If there is one Ivy that is known to be hyper competitive with massive mental health issues, it is Penn. There were SEVEN DEATHS just in 2017 related to mental health at Penn. Chicago can't even hold a candle to Penn on this.

And i have lived in both neighborhoods. Hyde Park is just way way better specially with all the gentrification that has taken place. There is a Whole Foods store in Hyde Park and if you know anything about the kind of folks who shop at Whole Foods it should tell you about what the neighborhood is like.  To call it gritty is just nonsensical ignorance

Ah yes, you've lived everywhere, and attended school everywhere, and the places you haven't your kids attend. :roll: Or you're just another desperate striver living through your kids. I know you're not an alum because the perpetual shilling is very off-brand for Chicago alums (unless they work in admissions). They'd admit the location is pretty gloomy, the college is pretty depressing, but they are smarter as a result of the grind. When asked if it was worth it, they'd give you a vague response.[/quote]

You are a moron who doesn't know the first thing about either Hyde Park or Penn.

Hyde Park is surrounded by other neighborhoods which have higher crime but is itself much safer and more gentrified than Penn's neighborhood. A person who doesn't know this doesn't know anything about Hyde Park. So don't show your ignorance and bias. Discuss the facts or face ridicule for being an ass[/quote]
