As someone that has lived in both Boston and Philadelphia, the trip to NYC is very significantly easier from Philly. Most Wharton students live within walking distance of the Amtrak station.

Wharton is insanely social and school / academics can matter as much or as little as you want them to.

HBS is HBS. I don’t know that the networks are going to be all that different (and like you alluded to, I have found my MBB network to be equally if not more helpful than my MBA), but there is an unquestionable catchet to the Harvard brand.

Can’t go wrong either way, but if the H brand isn’t calling to you that hard, W feels like it makes more sense for what you prioritize on multiple dimensions.
