Student Ratings
Kristine Johnston Alumnus - Grad Year 2009
Penn has a pretty active social life. There are always lots of events on campus, and there are frat houses off campus. Spring Fling is a huge event in the spring that brings big name artists for the concert and is often the highlight of the year.
Gina Robins Alumnus - Grad Year 1986
Penn was an excellent mix of smart kids who also knew how to have a good time. If you wanted to pledge a fraternity or sorority it was available, but not necessary to enjoying the school. As a student athlete, I appreciated the opportunity to compete and still be encouraged to focus on academics. It was a nice mix.
