Life at Wharton goes way beyond the classroom. You will make friends and build lifelong connections in a dynamic and diverse community that starts at Penn and extends around the world.

Join a Dynamic Community

At Wharton and Penn, you’ll find a diverse community with a unique blend of cultures and beliefs, as well as the most international students of any Ivy League university.

Your community at Wharton starts with your cohort — a group of 60 students with whom you’ll share academic and extracurricular experiences during your first year at Penn. As an integrated member of the Penn community, you will also make deep connections with students from every school through your College House, your athletic teams, Greek life, and the clubs and organizations you join.
