Why Penn? “I love that going to Penn is like being at a small college within a larger university. I get to receive a liberal arts education where I am well versed in many different subjects while receiving opportunities like research, connections, and graduate-level courses that you can't find at a smaller college. I also love being in a city with so much activity and culture. Penn allows for students to make their college experience what they want, either big or small.”
