Really great to see a public school like U Penn holding its own so well in these rankings; kudos to them
@kjhealy Tragically, not even Penn State is truly a public university anymore (“state-affiliated”). UPenn is fully private though! I think the highest ranked fully public uni in Pennsylvania might be Indiana University of Pennsylvania?
@joepierce (I know U Penn is a private school)
@kjhealy Your sense of irony surpasses my own!
@joepierce FWIW the running gag is that U Penn grads are paranoid about being mistaken for either Penn State specifically or a public school in general, so they will say things like “at U Penn AND OTHER IVIES” etc
