Each university that makes up the prestigious Ivy League has its defining factors. For Penn, I’d argue that this factor is money. 71% of Penn students come from the top 20% of wealthiest families in America, and the Philadelphia campus simply serves as a springboard for the further accumulation of their generational wealth. Even for those Quakers who don’t come from extremely privileged backgrounds, the opportunities provided through Wharton, the University’s boast-worthy alumni network, and the sheer prestige of its name on your resume are enough to put them on track to catch up, if not surpass, their already wealthy peers through careers in finance, consulting, or law.
As we approach the holiday season, we are reminded that this is a time to be grateful. We should always be grateful for health, loved ones, food, and a roof over our heads. But one thing that we may forget to be grateful for is attending Penn.

Attending a prestigious college is an amazing opportunity that we forget we have at times.

These days, I can’t help but think about the movie "The Menu" when I go out to eat. Though my culinary reality is much less about the psychological torture of dinner guests and cold-blooded murder, I often contemplate what the movie reveals about the food service industry, the changing nature of tastes, and the grueling pressure for restaurants to innovate and keep up with diners’ demands.
Penn community members expressed support for the Israeli restaurant Goldie following a pro-Palestinian protest for Gaza — which has drawn criticism from elected officials for antisemitism — outside of its Center City location.

The third quarter of any basketball game is often thought to be the most important. Coming out of the halftime break, it presents a chance to make a statement with a rested team going into the final quarter. The 73-9 Golden State Warriors in 2015-16 had the best third-quarter scoring margin in the last 20 years, leading them to the best record in NBA history.

Since she received these accommodations, and because she took different classes than other students, she was graded on a different GPA system than her peers.

Before its recent dual meet against No. 3 Iowa, Penn's lineup included eight wrestlers who had earned spots in these prestigious rankings.
If you think your weekends have been busy, junior breaststroker Matt Fallon’s November has been jam-packed — three straight weekends of Quaker dual meets, a trip to Los Angeles for the 2023 Golden Goggles Awards, and most recently, the U.S. Open in Greensboro, N.C. But, it’s clear that the 2023 Worlds medalist is not slowing down any time soon as we approach championship season.
