  • There were more than 50 buildings at UPenn campus
  • Library, Gym, Hospital, Graduate center, women's center, open space, classrooms
  • Spring Gala, GAPSA, Rangoli, PAGSA, CSSAP. We celebrated every major festival such as Holi, Diwali, Lunar New year, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Eid, etc.
  • The Graduate and Professional Student Assembly (GAPSA) is the official student government representing graduate and professional students at the University of Pennsylvania. We champion the interests of students across all twelve graduate schools (G12) as well as several campus affinity groups (IDEAL), collaborating closely with administrators to ensure student perspectives drive policy. Our General Assembly (GA) is proportionally composed of graduate and professional students elected by each G12 member, as well as IDEAL representatives. The GA elects our President, Vice Presidents, and Council Chairs, who in turn appoint Directors and Deputies to help execute GAPSA essential functions and special projects. The GA convenes biweekly on Wednesday evenings

Lots of clubs but would have been nice if it was more accessible to graduate students as much as the undergrad students.

I loved on campus with some roommates for all four years because my parents thought that would be the safer option and the on-campus residential buildings were slightly closer to the buildings.

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.

This is a urban campus located in Philadelphia which is USA's 4th largest city. You get a lot of option to go out and have fun. It is also pretty convenient in terms of transportation. There are Ice skating rinks and rowing trails around the city. Libraries on campus as well as free library of Philadelphia are pretty awesome. Penn has a large infrastructure dedicated to sports facilities, there are olympic size pools and multi storeyed gym for students.

I live in a 3Bed 3Bath apartment and pay 800$ per month for my rent. The infra of apartments is awesome and there are modern appliances that come with the apartment. As it is a big city there are options starting from as low as 500$/month to 2000$ or even higher per month for luxurious housing.

The campus is very lively with diverse communities. There is atleast one event everyday, making student interactions very evident. There is nothing that is not available at Upenn, be it a supercomputer or be it a mere 3D printer, and that too free of cost for the students.

There are all types of facilities available includeing Indian stores to buy spices, etc. UPenn gives free transportation for students from 6pm to 3am throughout the year.
