University of Pennsylvania - Ratings, Reviews & Ranking

" I love going to Penn. The ability to go to school in a city was a big draw for me. While, Penn is in the heart of Philadelphia, there is still much of the typical campus feel when you walk on Locust Walk. The professors are really good and very accommodating, they want you to do well here. Much of the social scene revolve around Greek Life and going to off campus bars. "

" Great campus overall, although the neighborhood outside of the campus can be a little bit sketchy. The campus facilities are usually up to date. Building a bit old on the outside but internally generally new with modern finishes "

" In general, I was happy with my choice to attend. Some professors were excellent, others had less academic experience and relied heavily on personal, in-practice experience to guide lectures and discussions (as opposed to presenting topics from a broader and scientific/academic perspective). There was also a huge variety in internship quality - some students had amazing opportunities, others struggled and received suboptimal support from administration. "

" Overall happy - I was a student athlete at Penn. As such, many of my experiences where through the lens of athletic scheduling and various work study arrangements. The mixing of general students and athletes was positive and opportunities found around Philly were numerous. "

" Recommend only because of the networks and opportunities available. Management of some programs is incredibly bad, they make it incredibly hard to get funding for projects, and generally it lacks true diversity beyond niche clubs for specific identities (which aren't emphasized throughout the community) "
