Penn is the best Ivy.
Overall 4.5
Penn is the best school in the entire world. It is the only IVY LEAGUE university with geniuses that actually know how to have a good time. We're the social ivy for a reason. There is no lack of intelligence either. We send more kids to better grad schools than Princeton and many of the other ivies because our career services are so much better.

Horrible experience. The professors never wanted to help and the atmosphere is filled with a bunch of preppy rich kids, making a lower class student like myself feel very out of place.
Overall 1
Less time on their reputation and more time their quality of service.

Disappointed.
Overall 1.8
I transferred out after a semester. The university does not care about students with disabilities, as well as athletes. I had medical issues that the professors didn’t care about, and told me to just learn the content on my own. Save your 81k a year for somewhere else!
