What are some stereotypes about Drexel students?

Drexel students are sometimes seen as the students that "couldn't" make it into Ivy League schools. Sometimes people also consider us the "nerds" of the college world.

Are the stereotypes accurate?

Heck no. Drexel students are just as smart (if not smarter) than Ivy League students. Lots of Drexel students actually made it into Ivy League schools and opted to attend Drexel for some other reason (like the awesome Co-op). We are also not "nerds". Sure, we're studious, but do "nerds" know how to have fun like we do?

Drexel: The Big Picture

Drexel is really great the way it is. We have a lot of school pride and we're definatly a college town type of area, especially with such a large neighboring college. When I tell people I go to Drexel, it's always a big deal. They all love to congratulate me and comment on what a great school Drexel is. Once, I even had someone approach me on the street and ask about the Drexel hoodie I was wearing. When he found out I went to Drexel, he congratulated me too! I didn't even know his name!

Drexel Academic Life

Acadmeics at Drexel really aren't as hard as you'd think. The requirements are really core-based and orriented towards things you'll NEED to know when you get to the real world. Also, some of the professors are just really great. They'll always help you with just about anything you need.

Drexel's Student Body

Every type of student can be found at Drexel, and I don't think that anyone would ever feel "out of place".

Drexel Student Activities + Social Life

Drexel has such a large number of activities going on that it's impossible to keep track of them all. Between the DAC Pack basketball fans and the Weekend Warriors there's hardly any way to keep track of everything that's going on. You'll definatly never be bored if you really want to get involved.

In Closing ...

What's the worst thing about Drexel?
It took me a long time to get used to living in the city. I still don't like it sometimes.

What's the best thing about Drexel?
It's a great, well-rounded school that has just about everything you could want to find in a college.
