[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t like as much as we thought we would: Penn. Compared to other tours/admissions presentations we attended, the vibe was not at all welcoming or personal. Instead of telling you about the school, and letting you ask questions, they seemed to assume that you are dying to go there and the admissions talk was mostly about what you should do to position yourself to get in. Total turn off

Unexpectedly loved: Mount Holyoke, and Smith, both of which we thought would feel too small[/quote]

I’m in higher education & have visited well over 100 campuses. Penn is one of my least favorite. The architecture, the layout, the neighborhood, the city…none of it seemed appealing. [/quote]

I went to grad school at Penn. While West Philly is better than it used to be, it's still the pits. I do like Center City, though . . . great restaurants and museums, and it is steeped in history.[/quote]

It is much better than it used to be but it was terrible.[/quote]
