[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended Penn. So did one of my younger siblings and my DH.

I personally loved it. I chose it over a few other ivies because I valued the urban location. Everything there is top notch. I was a liberal arts major and I never felt that the Wharton kids had too much influence and generally did not care about them.

My sibling was actually in Wharton. If your child is left leaning or interested in any progressive issues, they will not like it. My sibling described other Wharton students as "the type of people that would punch their own grandmother for an extra dollar."  However, the post-graduation job opportunities from Wharton are pretty great.

My DH eventually liked it but is from out west and was a little turned off by Penn's less laid back culture.

[b]The one thing you should know that I didn't is that Greek life does more or less dominate social life there. I honestly was looking for someplace where it wasn't important and had I known that I probably would have gone somewhere like Brown instead. [/b]

Greek life does not dominate Penn. it is a substantial part but most people are not part of Greek life. Dominate is a strong word. I would describe it as just being prominent by ivy standards, but by no means dominant. [/quote]
