Ivy League PARTY school. Home to the prestigious Fisher M&T program, Penn Engineering and Wharton. Also has arts/sciences college and nursing college but no big names there ---

In recent years, its becoming a big entrepreneurial school with great guidance and world renown courses in Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Computer Science and Engineering. Although, its mostly compared with Duke/ Northwestern/Cornell and rarely with Harvard or UChicago, its Perelman Med school and highly, highly elite Wharton MBA is probably better than anything in this damn universe.
