    Penn is a little pricey but I think it's worth it considering the quality of education that you receive and the fact that having a degree from Penn will give you an advantage when trying to land good internships and in the job market after graduation.

    Penn is a little on the expensive side, but they make up for it with the amazing opportunities and events they offer to students. There are always places to go for free food (something you will appreciate more in school) they are constantly hosting famous guests. Just this semester Bill Clinton, Eva Longoria and many more people visited and spoke at Penn. The classes are wonderful and so are the professors and even in one case when I had a bad professor the school listened to the student body and relieved the professor. Penn works to accommodate its students and give them the best college experience possible.

    Penn is very expensive, but it is one of the best schools in the country. don't worry about the sticker price too much, because the school will meet all of your demonstrated financial need.

    The University of Pennsylvania provides a first rate education for less than many other private universities. Value is all around you at UPenn, and again, the ability to network with some of the future leaders of America pays for itself.

    Personally, I feel it is worth the price tag. You get a great experience with lots of new friends, not to mention graduating with a degree from an ivy league school.
