Proximity to Penn


 

I may have made this list before, so if I'm repeating myself I apologize. But I must note how nice it is that we live near a campus like Penn. Resources, amenities, history, and opportunity freely abound. In no particular order, we are enriched because we have nearby access to:

Job opportunities

Enrichment opportunities

Academic resources

Green space

Cultural events

Retail (40th, Walnut)

Architecture

Historic sites (Palestra, Franklin Field, ENIAC) 

Health care 

Transit

As a Penn alum and former professor, the place itself holds a lot of meaning for me. But even divorced from those connections, there's just so much to tap into. For which I'm grateful.
