Is UPenn a private or public university?

Hey everyone, I'm currently researching colleges and I wanted to know if UPenn is a private or public university? Thanks in advance!

8 months ago

UPenn, or the University of Pennsylvania, is a private university. It is an Ivy League institution known for its strong programs in business, engineering, and the liberal arts. As a private university, UPenn operates independently from state control and is funded primarily through tuition, alumni contributions, and endowments.

Private universities often have a little more flexibility with their resources and can sometimes offer more personalized attention to students, though both private and public universities can have excellent programs and opportunities. Good luck with your college research!
