Once you have arrived and stationed yourself in front of the shower, you must remove your shower shoes out of respect for the shower. Once you have stepped into the shower, sans shoes, your feet can in bask in the courteous gifts of your fellow hall mates: exfoliated skin, hair, urine, and foot fungus. Note: the other hall residents (mice, roaches, and water bugs) may join you. Happy hygiene!

What is the NEW WCW?

Why SUITS are REQUIRED class attire for all schools?

Suits are the attire of real-world professionals, says J. W., Wharton 2023. Since all Penn students should subscribe to Penn’s pre-professional environment, which is perfectly emulated by Wharton students, every student on Penn’s Campus should wear full suits to class. Nurses must be prepared to perform CPR in their everyday hospital/clinical work attire aka a suit. College students must wear suits if they have any hope of attaining a job offer after graduation. Engineering students must work in the machine shop, code, or do lab research in a suit to make up for the miserable average engineering GPA. Isn’t it obvious that Wharton students succeed because of their suits, and that’s why everyone should wear suits.
