    Great school with excellent programs. The University of Pennsylvania (Penn or UPenn) is a private Ivy League research university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The university claims a founding date of 1740[note 1] and is one of the nine colonial colleges chartered prior to the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Benjamin Franklin, Penn's founder and first president, advocated an educational program that trained leaders in commerce, government, and public service, similar to a modern liberal arts curriculum.
    The university is known for it's cutting edge faculty profile, amazing infrastructure, access to library and locality. Penn has a safe neighborhood and the students quickly adapt to the place they are staying in. The city gives experience of both Urban as well as suburban life. The college is brimming with on campus employment opportunities. The faculty are reputable in their field and the university is highly investing in research and innovation.

    I would like the college to offer more scholarship for international students.
