University of Pennsylvania Description:Founded by Benjamin Franklin, Penn should not be confused with Penn State or a public university. The University of Pennsylvania holds its own against the best of its Ivy League
brethren. From Penn's location in West Philadelphia, Center City is an
easy walk across the Schuylkill river. With nearly 12,000 undergraduates
and a similar number of graduate students, Penn has a diverse and
bustling urban campus. For its strengths in the liberal arts and
sciences, Penn was awarded a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and its strength in research has earned it membership in the Association of American Universities.
