About Me

Intro

"Work hard, play hard."

If I could describe myself in a sentence, that would be the one. On weekdays, I'll be studying my butt off in Van Pelt, writing a ten-page paper, or walking around in a suit for some kind of presentation. I may even run around West Philly doing some volunteer stuff at a local school. You know, typical academic stuff.

Come the weekend, however, a completely different me emerges—the me that loves to play. And boy, do I play. Parties and concerts and performances, oh my. I mean, there's never a weekend when there isn't something going on. There's even a whole weekend called Spring Fling, when I do nothing but drink libations and jam out to live music.

Hey, I want to do big things. I want to change the world. But I can have some fun along the way, can't I?

Name

Call me Quaker, but please don't make any oats jokes...

Hometown

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, home of the Philly cheesesteak

Birthdate

1740

Body Type

Okay, so I'm a bit on the large side, with roughly 10,000 undergrads. But I'm quite small for having so many students. You can walk from one end of my campus to the other in only fifteen minutes.

Current Living Situation

My freshmen usually live in doubles in the dorms where they are comfortable 'n' cozy. Upperclassmen often end up in the high rises, which are university-controlled…but if they want to venture out on their own, there are plenty of apartments nearby.

Relationship Status

It's complicated with Princeton. We like to think of them as our mortal enemies ("Puck Frinceton!"). They, however, remain blissfully ignorant.

Politics

A bit liberal. Pennsylvania Democrats (or "Penn Dems") are quite the force to be reckoned with during election season.

You should apply to me if...

you dream of being a nurse, a business executive, or you just want to save the world. Or maybe all three, because you're a superstar.
