[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is at Penn in SEAS.  It’s a wonderful school/department, like a family.  As others have said, it’s not the top-ranked engineering school in the country, but still very, very good and likely less cut throat. Sciences and medicine are outstanding at Penn.  they do a lot for the community that surrounds them.  A lot of kind, caring kids at Penn who care deeply about social justice and helping those less fortunate than them.

I think you can kind of get a feel for some of Penn’s issues from this thread - there’s a huge perception that Penn = Wharton, Wharton, and Wharton.  But realize there is much more to Penn than Wharton.[/quote]

I also have a kid at SEAS who is very happy there. She says the professors are very good, and she's learning a tremendous amount in the classes. Once, when I was traveling through the area and stopped to take her to lunch, a classmate and her professor were having lunch together right next to us. She introduced me to her professor, who clearly knew her. She also reports that the school has all kinds of materials, etc. available for the engineering students to use. She loves going into the labs in her free time and creating things. I think a lot of the people commenting on this thread (just like other threads about other colleges) have no first-hand knowledge (or no recent knowledge) about the school and are just repeating things they've heard, which aren't necessarily accurate.
