So did you make through your stay without being the stereotypical coed in Florence puking in a gutter at 3 a.m. whilst wearing a very nice black dress?

You've put me in a quandary. I can put you in your place [again] and make a fool of you [again], but then I will also continue feeling like a douchebag who's bragging about the elite status of his alma mater. What to do, what to do...

Not genro. But he went to Penn State, so you'll have to excuse him.

I went to Penn for undergrad. That's what I was referring to. Harvard and Stanford don't even have business undergrad.

Haha, we're good then. I only had to deal with college students. I spent a good many nights scraping my students out of those gutters and getting them back home - or beating sleazy Italians off them.

To hell with rankings and admissions standards! Lets just judge schools on how many Noble Prize winners they have!
(Never mind the fact that Columbia and Cornell are both top-15 schools and NYU isn't even a top-30.)

I was never a messy drunk, much to my chagrin. I am blonde, and the sleezy Italians were pretty gross when I was sober, much less buzzed. Not to mention, I was always scared I was going to be sold on the black market and on a boat to Thailand if I ended up too drunk.

Ok.
It's an elite, illustrious school. You are so uneducated, you don't even know that.
quote:
The University of Pennsylvania (commonly referred to as Penn or UPenn) is an American private Ivy League research university located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Penn considers itself the fourth-oldest institution of higher education in the United States,[note 2] as well as the first university in the United States with both undergraduate and graduate studies.
quote:
Penn's academic and research programs are led by a large and highly productive faculty.[11] In the last ten years alone 9 Penn faculty members or graduates have won a Nobel Prize. Over its long history the university has also produced many distinguished alumni. These include 12 heads of state (including one U.S. President), 3 United States Supreme Court justices, and supreme court justices of other states, founders of technology companies, international law firms, and global financial institutions, university presidents and 18 living billionaires.
quote:
Penn is consistently included among the top five research universities in the US, and among the top research universities in the world, both in terms of quality and quantity of research.[10] In fiscal year 2011, Penn topped the Ivy League in academic research spending with a $814 million budget, involving some 4,000 faculty, 1,100 postdoctoral fellows and 5,400 support staff/graduate assistants.[2] As one of the most active and prolific research institutions, Penn is associated with several important innovations and discoveries in many fields of science and the humanities. Among them are the first general purpose electronic computer (ENIAC), the Rubella and Hepatitis B vaccines, Retin-A, cognitive therapy, conjoint analysis and others.
quote:
Its undergraduate programs are also among the most selective in the country (12.3% acceptance rate).
quote:
As a powerful research-oriented institution Penn is also among the most prolific and high-quality producers of doctoral students.
quote:
In most disciplines Penn professors' productivity is among the highest in the nation, and first in the fields of Epidemiology, Business, Communication Studies, Comparative Literature, Languages, Information Science, Criminal Justice and Criminology, Social Sciences and Sociology.[11] According to the National Research Council nearly three-quarters of Penn’s 41 assessed programs were placed in ranges including the top 10 rankings in their fields, with more than half of these in ranges including the top 5 rankings in these fields.
quote:
The university is probably best well known as the place where the first general-purpose electronic computer (ENIAC) was born in 1946 at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering.
quote:
The Princeton Review ranks Penn as the 6th most selective school in the United States.
quote:
In total, 28 Penn affiliates have won Nobel Prizes, of whom four are current faculty members and nine are alumni. Nine of the Nobel laureates have won the prize in the last decade. Penn also counts 115 members of the United States National Academies, 79 members of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, eight National Medal of Science laureates, 108 Sloan Fellows, 30 members of the American Philosophical Society, and 170 Guggenheim Fellowships.
It's an elite, illustrious school. You are so uneducated, you don't even know that.

The Center for Measuring University Performance places Penn in the first tier of the United States' top research universities (tied with Columbia, MIT and Stanford), based on research expenditures, faculty awards, PhD granted and other academic criteria.
quote:
Penn's arts and science programs are all well regarded, with many departments ranked amongst the nation's top 10. At the undergraduate level, Wharton, Penn's business school, and Penn's nursing school have maintained their No. 1, 2 or 3 rankings since U.S. News began reviewing such programs. In the School of Engineering, top departments are bioengineering (typically ranked in the top 5 by U.S. News), mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and nanotechnology.
