Penn is split up into four schools: the College of Arts and Sciences, the Engineering School, the Wharton School of Business, and the Nursing School. The stereotype is pretty different for all four schools.
Wharton kids are always thought to be cut-throat, well-bred, competitive, and ready to eat the competition alive. They will be found studying in Huntsman Hall, in a suit 24/7, and sucking up the latest recruiter from Credit Suisse or Goldman Sachs.
The College is made up of two kinds of people -- the pre-meds and the not pre-meds. The pre-meds are usually competitive, work in a lab, and will not help you with anything because they know one point for you is a minus for them. The not pre-meds are known as attending "the College of Arts & Crafts". These individuals usually major in things like Urban Studies or Diplomatic History, carry coffee, and dress like hippies.
The Engineering School is far away from the center of campus so the engineers usually are not seen unless they stick their head out of a basement of a mechanical engineering lab. They are said to be usually not the most attractive folk, and the only drink they drink is Java (pun?).
As for the nursing school, no one actually sees them ever. There is such a few amount of nursing students that seeing one is like seeing a shooting star. The stereotype is a female that cannot handle being pre-med.

People want to be here. There are very few students who still can’t get over the fact that they were rejected at their number one school; instead, the vast majority of people chose Penn as their number one. Furthermore, the people who had Penn as their first choice are/were incredibly in love with the school, as opposed to having Penn at the top of their list for non-substantive reasons.
While many people tend to think of Wharton as the best thing Penn has to offer academically, that thought couldn’t be more wrong. Penn’s nursing, anthropology, English, psychology, and urban studies are top in the nation as well, though the pre-professional atmosphere can often cloud other non-professional areas of study.

Brilliant; sometimes very competitive; sometime elitist

Penn is the "party ivy", West Philadelphia is coming to get us
Jo
That undergraduates do not mingle across the four different schools (College of Arts & Science, School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, Nursing, Wharton).
Shelby
That they're all jappy and money hungry

Penn students are awesome and they like parties. Also, some people some people study too much and dont like going out.
