What is your overall opinion of this school?

Runs like a business and doesn't care about students.. the meal plan is absolute garbage would give a 0 if I could. events like homecoming don't exist so you don't experience it. Best suited for people who want to be overworked and not have anything else to do for 4 years except study because it has a 10-week term and midterms run from week 3 to week 9. The only good thing is the COOP otherwise just garbage.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

Drexel University has both pros and cons. It is situated in the middle of a city and the environment around Drexel is very much gentrified. Since Drexel is an open campus, it can be somewhat dangerous to walk by yourself at times. Some common robberies and assaults occur around campus from pedestrians that don't attend the university. The nightlife is not great because Drexel has intensive and fast-paced courses so people are usually staying in to study. The living conditions are not too bad when compared to other colleges in the United States. On-campus and off-campus housing can become pricey which makes attending Drexel expensive without financial aid. I enjoy the artistic community within Drexel because there are plenty of creatives who sought opportunities versus waiting for it to come to them. Drexel has a plethora of club organizations that students can join which makes it easier for students to acclimate to the college environment with. I appreciate that Drexel helps students find internships with ease and prepares them with careers after graduation.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

I enjoy how the school is a public place where there's access to many opportunities outside. As a visitor, I don't however enjoy the reputation that some of the dorms hold. I have heard negative things about the dorms there and it is kind of discouraging.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

Drexel University has been the greatest thing that could have happened to me. Transitioning I was overwhelmed with the fast paced 10 week terms however teachers and tutors along with literally any type of resource center you can think is always there to help you with whatever might be a struggle. The campus involvement and events are very common and cause for excitement. A small but very exciting campus. Education and the co-op program gives you the ability to perfect your craft and secure a career before even graduating.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

A wonderful science and engineering school, professors who only want you to learn, grow, and succeed. Talking for the physics department alone, even though they’re over worked due to the high amount of Gen Ed’s they have to teach to the other majors, they still find the time and energy to help the physics majors understand their craft.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

As a Game Design Major in our school of Media and Design (Westphal College of Arts), we have access to numerous labs, programs, and are taught by working professionals on the field. Although extremely expensive, and sometimes confusing at times where the money goes, Drexel offers the co-op program; students are networked by the school to work/intern from a year to a year and a half in their fields, which leads to a high percentage of students graduating with jobs lined up in their prospective careers. These opportunities of social mobility are present from the start-- some freshman have been hired by companies like Disney or Pixar. Overall, I believe this school is great for those with personal motivation and ambition (our motto is ambition can't wait after all), as the knowledge to use current industry standard technology is taught for students to succeed in the real world.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

Looking forward to attending 2020! I am currently in the process of making my Application. It is where I inspire to make goals and achieve them. I hope my future will provide me with the opportunity to share the compassion and service I am willing to give to others as I begin my journey and path in Nursing. Drexel has always been my choice.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

Drexel was my number one choice since day one. I absolutely love it, there is always something to do. Whether on campus or in the heart of Philly, you'll never be bored. Explore the city and all the school has to offer! A very diverse school regarding the people and the academics.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

Drexel University is far too expensive, and it isn't worth the money. This school is not good enough to cost as much as it does. It also uses a quarter system which sucks. They try to cram too many exams and projects into only eight weeklong terms, so you are constantly struggling to keep up with everything. You'd do better to save yourself some money and go somewhere else.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

Drexel University is a big university that has a lot of students enrolled. Because of the large student body, some of the professors do not have enough time for all of the students. The professors are generally accessible, but most of the time, there are too many students who need help and the professors do not have enough time for everyone so some students are left behind. In terms of academics, the university is very rigorous and the quarter system is tough. Drexel's extracurriculars are subpar at best and there is not a lot fo advertisement or incentives for the students to join clubs or sports.
