We here at UCity blog always look forward to the month of May, when the birds and the bees feast on the vomit left on the doorsteps of UPenn fraternities and UPenn sororities. There’s also the super-bonus of UPenn Graduation, a time when the city streets are power-washed, the hedges are trimmed, and the University pays hundreds of cops overtime to look menacing. We find that this greatly helps the UPenn endowment/trust fund, as parents and grandparents, otherwise terrified of West Philly and its filth ridden tales of yore, give generously to their favorite Ivy school.
If you’re planning on attending graduation for any reason, be it heckling and booing, or skimming off some free catered food, make sure to look out for SUV-wielding psychpaths (read: parents) who don’t really get how to drive or park in a major city.
