We arrived in Cherry Hill, New Jersey just after midnight and went straight to bed. We chose Cherry Hill because it was close to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but without the prices. It was less than six miles from UPenn. We woke up and drove straight to UPenn.
We needed coffee badly because we did not even eat breakfast. We stopped at Star Bucks near campus for some much needed caffeine. Once we got our fixThe first thing I look for in a university is the quad. At first we could not see it because of the way we came in. But as we continued to walk into the university, WOW, what a surprise: GORGEOUS campus! A lot of buildings were closed but we managed to walk around the campus and found a small quad. There were guards in the main entrance because the university is in big city. We asked to go in and they allowed us. It is in a big city hence the security.
You can literally walk to downtown Philadelphia. The weather was gorgeous which added to the great feeling about the campus. Of course the build were gorgeous and they screamed IVY. Walking around I felt safe and thought my kids would also feel safe too.
Near the campus there are restaurants.
After touring the university, we then went off to breakfast. We at the White Dog. What a quaint little restaurant with very unique decorations. Food was great for me though my husband wasn't very happy about it.
