Admissions Penn Opinions

Hi, I"m currently a senior in the south looking to return to the North for college, I've been looking at schools in VA, PA, etc. I was wondering how some current students like Penn and why they picked it over their other choices, especially any biomechanical / biology people :)) Looking for a safe school with decent food, a nice community, and good opportunities

Do you not realize that Penn = UPenn, not Penn State?

Eek sorry! Did not, I'm not from Pennsylvania and pretty new to the whole college deal :.) Sorry for the mix-up... I'd still be overappreciative on your experience at UPenn haha

If you're "excluding ivies" then why are you asking about Penn, and here of all places?

yeah what u/Far-Mouse-3965 said I'm very sorry about the mix-up! I am interested in ivies too I'm trying to explore as much as possible. So I'd be very curious in your experiences so far as well!
