宾夕法尼亚州立大学

城市和学校的分届不太明显 沃顿的楼很像一个导弹发射井 超丑 校园中间有好多带着希腊字母的兄弟会的房子 还有一些通体发绿了的房子 总的来说校园还不错

宾夕法尼亚州立大学是东海岸最漂亮的校园之一，宛若繁华都市中的一片绿洲。校园里的绿地是个很好的休息放松的地方。沿着露克斯特小径漫步如同置身美丽的画卷，一年四季会呈现不一样的景色。校园里还有很多特别漂亮的建筑和雕像，包括古老又美丽的富兰克林运动场。当然大学也很牛，而且资源丰富，无论是图书馆、博物馆还是植物园。在校园四处逛逛，了解更多有关全国第一所非宗教大学及其创始人本•富兰克林的历史。

我夜间从大学城火车站来到宾夕法尼亚州立大学，第一次见识到了这儿的美丽。我是直接从机场过来的，这也是我第一次来到宾州。南街最面在夜色中若隐若现的建筑就是富兰克林体育场，是宾州古代的足球场。出去直觉，我没有走向它，转而朝中心城走去了。体育场有股奇异的气场让我觉得有点战栗。我不知道具体是什么东西，我也从来没有对一栋建筑物产生这样的反应。可别被我疑神疑鬼的介绍吓住了，宾州大学校园绝对是费城最有趣的景点之一。这儿到处都是独具特色的维多利亚时期建筑。校园西南部有条小的商业街，大有可观，周围都是居民区，值得去看看，尤其你从来没有去过东海岸的大城市的话（不要往西走太远，因为越往西社区越差）。我去过很多大学校园，宾州大学绝对是个中翘楚。

This university is amazing. It is a part of the Ivy League, making it just a great school. I competed at a fun debate tournament here.

Hard to call this a tourist attraction - the most you can do is walk around unless you have an appointment or a specific event. It is a very pleasant place to stroll, especially if you appreciate architecture

Ben Franklin was a member, among other prominent people. the more famous members are actually buried under the floor of the aisle of the church.

This fine Ivy League College and the University City neighborhood that surrounds it are also must-see venues on any Philly itinerary. The architecture is tremendous, there are great theaters and performance venues like the Annenberg Theater, splendid museums and the neighborhood is filled with creative restaurants and excellent bars. Being in West Philly, I would stay close to the University area, stick with more crowded places and avoid getting to happy and fat and careless at night. Still, security is beefed up here and violent crime is declining throughout the city at least as of this year.

Fun to see the hospital and School of Medicine on quick visit to see my daughter's work place. Well located to reach by mass transit. Enjoyed the view from the break room for the laboratory.

I went down to Philly for the Penn/Cornell Football game and I have to say that they have a beautiful campus and an equally nice stadium. The game was exciting and was going back and forth the whole game. The only problem was the apathetic Penn fans. They don't even come out for their games. Cornell does have the best football team either but at least our Alumni comes down from New York to support our team. The best part of their stadium is their concession stand. They have the best cheesesteaks and pretzels and on a cold day and it was cold that day, made it well worth it. We did win the cliffhanger by one point and the Penn students did not know what they missed. It was a great game.

My son is currently an undergrad at Penn and absolutely loves it. Having toured multiple colleges Penn was without a doubt the most pleasant of surprises. My son wanted an urban environment but didn't care for city campuses that simply blend into the city. The moment we walked onto Locust Walk it felt like the perfect combination. The campus itself is gorgeous but the fact that it is surrounded but an interesting city neighborhood filled with coffee shops, clothing stores, bookstores, restaurants, etc. Philly itself has turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It is not a city I ever had an interest in visiting but now that we have reason to visit on occasion I have found it to be an amazing city and look forward to becoming more familiar with it.

I love the rich history of Philadelphia. Spent the day at a business conference, cut out early to explore the city. So much history. It was cold out though.

The University of Pennsylvania maintains a combination of architecture that reminds the observer of the past while tastefully including the structures of the modern era.

I am biased since my child is attending the University. But really one of the reasons selected ( besides offering great education opportunities) is its location(beats Harvard and MIT) . It is located in the City, but in its own University Town comprised by two Universities ( UPenn and Drexell). The architecture is unique. Both Gothic as well as modern. A lot of statues along with proverbs by who else? B. Franklin mark the University's grounds. Unique the fact that every Wednesday there is a farmer's market on university grounds. Would definitely reccomend it as a must visit for any family visiting Philly.

This is such a great campus! Beautiful Locust Walk, The Quad, Wharton (Huntsman Hall), Fisher Fine Arts Library, etc. etc. The student body is incredibly friendly (ask any of them walking around a question and they will be happy to help!) and wonderfully diverse. What a gem.

Beneath the Surface - great exhibit at the Penn Museum! Gold jewelry and objects and pottery found by the Rio Grande Cocle' in Panama give new understanding of the Cocle' people
