From today's Daily Pennsylvanian:

Contemplating the upcoming transition, Undergraduate Political Science Chairman Henry Teune noted the unique challenges facing Penn. He described Penn as a "three-ring circus," with three major problems requiring the constant attention of administrators: Penn's low endowment to student ratio, its large Health System and its urban setting.

Maybe the "problem" Penn faces as a result of "its urban setting" is thinking that its urban setting is a problem. Many of us think that the urban area in which Penn is a net asset and not a net liability.
