There are benefits to a well-rounded liberal arts education and a master’s of business administration can provide even better opportunities than an undergraduate business degree can.
Dating used to be a common phenomenon in college. Yet, it seems that college has become a four-year break, totally devoid of romance, between crush-filled high school and date-filled adulthood.
After seeing the election results, as much as Michelle Obama’s presence at Penn may have helped the Democratic ticket, it may have stung just a little too.
Penn could implement need-blind admission for international students if it really wanted to. All it would need to do is roll back no-loan financial aid.
