Philadelphia is one of the most historic cities in the US: the center of the American Revolution, the capital when Washington DC was being built, one of the major manufacturing cities of the 20th Century. It’s also the birthplace of the digital computer — the ENIAC was built in 1945 here at Penn!
Today Philadelphia is a major center in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and more. We enjoy fantastic restaurants, historic sights, a burgeoning tech scene, unique neighborhoods, and remarkable livability!
The Penn Campus

The broader School of Engineering and Applied Science facilities are shown in this photo tour.
