Final comments
Philadelphia is a great city. At times students at UPenn tend to stick to the campus facilities, but it is worth to get accustomed to the city and take advantage of its many attraction: Philadelphia Museum of Art with an amazing collection, 5th street, the Church on 22nd and Locust is a nice venue for concerts, West Philly is a charming neighbourhood going through a gentrification process right next to the campus, as well as Camden - the city across the bridge in NJ (not very prosperous but definitely interesting).

As a student at the University of Pennsylvania, I am continuously inspired by the vibrant academic environment. Penn's blend of world-class professors, diverse student body, and rich history creates a stimulating atmosphere that pushes the boundaries of innovation and thought. The resources available, from cutting-edge research facilities to myriad extracurricular activities, ensure that every student can pursue their passions to the fullest. The supportive community and collaborative culture foster not just academic excellence but also personal growth. Walking through the leafy campus, I feel a profound connection to the Quaker values of integrity and service. Truly, Penn is not just an institution, but a home that encourages us to be the best versions of ourselves.
