Hannah Cutler sits comfortably in a sleek metal chair in Capogiro, her black, puffy coat only partially unzipped for a two hour interview. At first, one might have taken her keeping her coat on as a sign she was in a rush, but the more you talk to Hannah, the more you get a sense that it might very well just be a product of her voracious curiosity—there are simply more interesting things to her than worrying about that. One gets the sense that there’s always something that could pop into her head if you mention the right keyword. It’s not that she isn’t present—she very much is—but she has a mind for constantly learning and sharing. She’ll unexpectedly whip out her phone to show you a speech Mark Zuckerberg was giving in North Carolina that she was listening to while making dinner, or tell you about what a great show Mind of a Chef is or explain the historical relevance of restaurateur Alice Waters.

These students actually live off–campus, stepping outside of the physical barriers of the Penn Bubble and into Philly proper. From South Philly to Center City, read what they have to say about life outside of Penn's boundaries.

“I think you’re the first one, ever, at Penn, to ask me about my experience here as a person with a disability,” says Engineering senior Tanner Haldeman. He attempts to recall another time he was asked about his experiences and not just surface–level questions about the scooter he uses to navigate campus—questions which become grating over time. During three and–a–half years at Penn, Tanner’s experience as a student with a physical disability stemming from a neuromuscular disorder went largely “ignored.”

Let's be real: Many of us were likely disappointed by the lack of Hogwarts acceptance letters on our eleventh birthdays. We all managed to get accepted into a prestigious university that lacks actual magic, but redeems itself aesthetically and sometimes just captures the very spirit of the wizarding world. We’ve reviewed some of the most Harry Potter–esque places on campus so you can take the most convincing cosplay pictures possible.

I keep on wanting to cry. I keep on almost crying and I don’t know for who or for what precisely, but I always stop just short for some reason.

Potentially the glue that holds this campus together and certainly the noblest among us, student baristas are the gatekeepers to the the nectar of the gods: caffeine. These stewards of liquid happiness balance a job, homework, social lives… and your annoying orders; they’re just trying to have it all! Hear from a few of these angels below and, like, don’t be a jerk to service workers because you don’t think they’re Penn students, we clear on that? If for nothing else, remember how much your 9 a.m. would suck without them.

While you threw on some animal ears/randomly assembled some items from your closet and lied about it being thought out, others actually took Halloween to the next level. And by the next level, we mean full conceptualized costumes (it’s not that high of a bar, tbh). So if you’re looking for ideas for next year, decided to stay in this past weekend and missed out on the festivities, or just want to marvel at the genius of some fellow Quakers, check out Street’s picks for some of 2016’s best Halloween costumes.

After a string of suicides in the past few years, students have banded together in a variety of ways to address issues of mental health. University–wide initiatives are often advertised, but smaller initiatives are all over campus, ranging from sorority–wide workshops to peer–run hotlines. Ego sat down with several student leaders of wellness organizations to talk candidly about alternative approaches to mental health, mental health within specific communities and of course, the controversial term "Penn Face."

Thirteen percent of the class of 2020 is composed

children to obtain a college degree, a truth that
comes with its highs and lows. Read on for a
