What students say about University of Pennsylvania
Likes
- The faculty at Penn is pretty great, although you do have your fair share of not-so-awesome professors, mainly because they dont really have the right methods of teaching.
- I dont really know much about this outside of the jobs that were available at Penn.
- Lots of clubs, but it would have been nice if they were more accessible to graduate students as much as the undergraduate students.
- I live in a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom apartment and pay $800 per month for rent.
- I didnt apply to any loans or scholarships, but I had friends who reached out to Penn to find out more about its various financing options and which organizations would accept scholarship applications from international students.
- The top professors are hired, many of whom have notable achievements, allowing for intense real-world information to be shared in the classroom setting.
- Good experience, lots of like-minded people, but I wish there were more networking events.

- Good program and brand value.,
- The fusion of cultures and the curriculum of the program. The people are friendly, and the social clubs that it offers is very admirable since it offers a collaborative environment. The proximity to the city is also convenient since its easy to access other factors other than the academic world.
- Dislikes:
- The duration of the program wish it was longer. My graduate program was only 1 year so I wish there were more research assistantships and TA positions available. The career services could be more useful.

I heard about Penn from some of my friends who were older than me. I only applied to Penn and Princeton, and Penn was my first choice because I have just heard so many wonderful things about it. I thought if I didn't get into Penn during its early decision round, I would apply to Princeton during regular decision.
Good scholarship, ivy league so a lot of connections and opportunities not available from other local colleges, great diversity in the college so I won't feel out of place, close to my home so I can visit my friends and family with ease.
I chose it because of the research group. I was interested in doing theoretical mechanobiology.
University of Pennsylvania is an IVY league university and this brand value is a huge boost for job lookout. UPenn is ranked highly in every type of W
