UPenn campus size

Hi everyone, I'm looking into UPenn as one of my top choices and want to get a better sense of the size of their campus. How large is it in terms of acres and what's the vibe of the campus? Is it more of an urban or suburban feel?

The University of Pennsylvania's campus, often referred to as Penn, is located in the University City neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The campus spans approximately 299 acres.

As for the vibe of the campus, it's a mix of urban and suburban feels. The campus is situated within a bustling city, with a vibrant urban atmosphere. Philadelphia offers various cultural, recreational, and historic attractions nearby. However, Penn's campus itself has a more suburban feel with plenty of green spaces, tree-lined walkways, and a unified architectural style that creates a sense of cohesion and tranquility within the university grounds.

Given this combination of urban and suburban elements, the campus environment allows students to enjoy the resources and energy of a major city while also providing a welcoming and intimate atmosphere for studying, socializing, and engaging in various activities on campus.
