[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]30+ years when I applied to college I debated applying to Wharton vs. CAS. I thought I wanted business and as a kid who skewed heavy towards math, my odds were actually likely better at Wharton.

I didn't want to get to Penn and then regret not being in Wharton - much easier to transfer out of Wharton than in.

I got in but chose another peer school as an econ major. I had a happier college experience than I would have had in West Philly. Worked in finance then ended up at Wharton for MBA.

A much higher percentage of Wharton undergrads are obnoxious and egotistical than CAS. But definitely far from all of them.[/quote]

The kids really do stick to West Philly which surprises me. Outside of the Quad freshman year, a lot of the dorms are sandwiched between Paneras, McDonalds, Acme style places and it's just kind of a drag. [/quote]

This is a strange description.  My kid goes to downtown Philly a ton, as do many Penn kids...though also takes advantage of lots to do on-campus and yes will utilize West Philly for essentials.

I would say [b]90%+ of student housing/dorms based on the number of kids in those dorms, don't fit your description above.  The high-rise dorms of course are directly on campus, then you have the quad...then you have Lauder and Hill House (again, not wedged between any of the fast food/fast casual restaurants you mention)...then you have Guttman which is also directly on campus.[/quote][/b]

yes, agree. PP is either a troll or misunderstood what the friend of the neighbors kid told them[/quote]
