A party school that happens to be a member of the Ivy League. Tends to attract that kids that don't apply to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and MIT because, hey, college is about having a fucking awesome time.
Benjamin Franklin, who once said, "Beer is proof that God wants loves us and wants us to be happy" founded Penn.
Penn is one of the best universities in the world, and the students still managed to get fucked up on a regular basis.

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.
