While I have made some friends, this is generally a rather cutthroat place. If you're not Jewish, from New Jersey/New York, or Asian; you really don't have a group to be a part of here. When you visit Penn, they speak extravagently of their admissions process and the difficulty of getting in. Once you arrive, you realize that there are some hard-working kids like you, but there are just as many dumbasses who seem to have gotten in because of sports or family wealth. Another problem is the filth of some of the dorms. Expecting something decent in a dorm of an Ivy league school, we become envious of our friends at other schools as residents of Hill House (a primarily freshmen dorm) deal with small rooms, no air-conditioning, mice, roaches, etc. The Wharton school is the most highly-regarded business school in the nation, and they do let this ranking go to their heads. Between the natural assumption that all Wharton students are nasty bastards who want to conquer Wall Street and the excessive lavishness of the business school facilities, it is a haven for snobbery. It's no wonder that during the opening orientation, the directors jokingly asked us for monetary donations in the future.
