Wharton came out with the strongest representation of all the business schools, fielding 4 teams of first and second years and the largest female showing at the games.

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

This past Saturday, the Wharton Crew Team hosted the Wharton Sprints on the Schuylkill River. Wharton was joined by Yale and M.I.T. for the four race regatta. The day got off to an inauspicious start as a bolt of lightning and a brief downpour risked ending the Sprints before they began.

The best food of my two years: Marigold Kitchen

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

For my last restaurant review for the Wharton Journal [tears], I wanted to end on a high note and get the best food that I could while staying true to my principle of trying something off of the beaten path. I asked my friend Shray for advice and she recommended Marigold Kitchen, which is in West Philly.

Bar Ferdinand: A little outside of Philly, but definitely worth it

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Bar Ferdinand is a Spanish tapas restaurant that serves basic yet tasty dishes in a spacious and casual setting. Now that the weather is shaping up, you'll appreciate the outdoor seating where you can watch paella being cooked on a gigantic wok.

Bittersweet Memories of the GMATs, or Whatever, Am I Still Talking?

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Graduation, like a bar mitzvah or growing a moustache, is a rite of passage. And as with any other rite of passage, this gives people the inalienable right to pause pensively mid-conversation before saying things like, "You know what? It's bittersweet."

Finally my final thoughts...

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

This time since it is not only the last edition of the year, but the last one that I will write in as a student (yes I think I will pass and graduate this year) and the last edition that the class of 2008 will read as students... I am going to recall one of the most memorable speeches I heard at Wharton.
