Guest Columnist | A summer in the City of Brotherly Love

The Penn students currently on campus probably have some idea of what this summer has in store. But for everyone else - those here on campus for the first time taking summer session courses, doing internships or working (and, of course, the eventual throngs of high schoolers who will crowd campus come late June) - the City of Brotherly Love could seem a little intimidating.

Editorial | The race still isn't over

When the results of the Philadelphia Democratic mayoral primary were released on the night of May 15, a plurality of citizens across the city could breathe a sigh of relief - Michael Nutter was victorious in the election. Almost all of the local print media establishments, from The Philadelphia Inquirer to Philadelphia Magazine (and The Daily Pennsylvanian), endorsed Nutter in the race, lauding his history of service in City Council, the breadth and depth of his plans for the city and his attempts at ethics reform.

Transferring to Penn from a school on the sunny, easygoing west coast wasn't easy, but the rewards made it worthwhile.

I sat staring at the computer in my guidance counselor's office.
