Advice for First-Years

Adya Aggarwal“The beauty of going to Penn is in learning from your peers. Students at the school come from varied and unique walks of life and getting to know people who are in a different concentration or major will help you broaden your perspective and teach you things that you can’t learn in a classroom.”
