Among College Hall and Locust Walk, the Quadrangle is one of the first images to appear after searching up Penn on Google Images. To outsiders it is one of the more majestic buildings on campus, but to students, the Quad is seen as the ultimate symbol of freshman life at Penn. What could be better than living in one huge building with hundreds of other freshmen trying to figure out their lives at college? It’s the perfect place to find friends, whether that be in your hall, a short walk away to another residential college, or in McClelland. Whenever you need to study with a classmate or comfort your friend after a rough night, you can be at their room within a couple of minutes and if it’s cold, you don’t even have to leave the building. Many students find their friend group in the Quad or generally enjoy the constant liveliness that is the result of students from all different types of backgrounds being crammed into two blocks. The Quad is almost like a mini neighborhood, but it is a neighborhood that is part of the fabric of Penn.
What is Penn, or any university, without constant construction and renovation? While bothersome, the building projects always gives students something to look forward to in the coming years. New College House West (NCHW) is one of these such projects and is slated to open in the fall of 2021. While no current students will be around to see it unveiled, it has still caused much discussion.
There aren't many places open late at night at Penn, and that's more than a problem. Fortunately for Penn students, Insomnia Cookies was created for this express purpose, to indulge your munchies. A genius Penn student, Seth Berkowitz (C' 14), founded the company after he used to sell cookies out of an Easy–Bake Oven on Locust Walk. The location in Houston Hall is in fact the first location ever.
It’s calmer than what a freshman at Penn might be used to as I walk into Allegro Pizza on a Wednesday afternoon. Eventually after one of the staff members jokingly asks if I need someone for a photo shoot, I sit down to talk with one of the employees. Crystal Nguwen is the 23–year–old assistant manager and social media coordinator who commutes from the Northern Liberties, but she assures me that the customers know her as “the Asian one.” She’s worked here for a couple years and possesses an interesting insight into the Penn community as someone who works at one of the hottest spots on campus.
