University of Pennsylvania

Penn, in Philadelphia, was founded by Benjamin Franklin and mixes classic Ivy tradition with a practical, hands-on streak. It is home to the Wharton School, the first collegiate business school in the country, and students can combine fields across schools through dual degrees and Penn's 'One University' approach. Campus life centers on Locust Walk, and Philadelphia gives you history, food and internships right outside. It is a good fit if you are ambitious and love variety.
