“People really care about Wharton, the Wharton experience, and the Wharton culture. They treasure that and will defend it with fervor. The most laid-back person will get very vehement about anything having to do with our culture! We are a very committed bunch, very passionate.”

Or Klier, WG'06
“In Wharton clubs, you can sing, dance, play hockey, and climb mountains. I was surprised that I tried new things. Everyone who comes to a school like Wharton is pretty competitive and an over-achiever, but what surprised me was how patient and supportive they were. If you don't know how to sing - no worries, they'll give you the support you need.”

Diversity Networks
We actively seek a class of diverse cultures, life experiences, and academic and professional backgrounds. Our student organizations and university resources provide many ways to support this diverse student community.
The Wharton campus is small enough to build relationships yet large enough to offer world-class resources, like Wharton’s state-of-the-art Huntsman Hall.
Housing Information
There are many options for student housing, ranging from campus high-rises to quaint city brownstones to spacious houses in leafy suburbs. All are convenient and close to campus or transportation, with excellent public and private schools nearby.
Living in Philadelphia
As the sixth-largest city in the U.S., Philadelphia provides ample recreational and economic resources, while still fostering a close-knit Wharton community. The birthplace of American democracy and commerce, the city offers urban convenience, vibrant culture, and affordable housing, with easy access to New York, Washington, DC, and Boston.
