Drew University

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

OK, I admit it... I'm old! There are people writing epinions that were born the year I graduated from college. So? Does that mean my opinion of the school I attended is any less valuable? I think not!

I attended Drew University from 1980 -...

Pros: Overall, very good institution.
Cons: Lack of support for foreign students.

Pros: The Suites offer a common room and bathroom, parties, and parking
Cons: Loud at times, mostly on the weekend

The housing at Drew University is decent and each year major improvements are made to at least one of the dorms. It is now my senior year at Drew, and I love living in the suites. My dorm is called Hurst Hall. Explaining my past housing experience...

Pros: Many trees, unique architecture, a real campus feel
Cons: Too small for some people

Drew is also known as "The University in the Woods" and rightfully so with many oak trees and squirrels everywhere. Our yearbook is even called "Oak Leaves" and the newspaper "The Acorn." There are many paths that lead...

Pros: Odd Job Opportunities, Many Internships, Jobs After Graduation
Cons: More Opportunities Needed for Science Majors

This year, my senior year, I have had contact with the Career Center almost every day. Previously I had gone there to look at a three ring binder filled with faxes from parents in the area that were looking for babysitters. This babysitting connection...

Pros: Many clubs, some parties
Cons: Stricter rules, small school

When I came to Drew, I was told that whether I would have fun on the weekends would depend on who my friends were and how many friends I made. During my first year, I was told by upperclassman that students learned to make the most of Drew socially, or...

Pros: Inexpensive, plenty, with lots of other choices.
Cons: Food on campus lacks variety.

So you decided to study at Drew. Good decision, I'm sure you'll like it. But let me tell you a couple of words on a subject nobody will teach you (which I consider to be a grave mistake) - dining at Drew.

You see, food preparation is a...

Pros: Juniors and senior have many options.
Cons: Freshmen and sophomores very few options.

If you are looking at Drew for an undergraduate education, do not base your decision on the dorms. As a freshman or sophomore, you will most likely live in Welch, Holloway, Brown, or Tolley. All four of these dorms are old, cramped, and have far two few...

Pros: beautiful campus and facilities
Cons: small, very small

I'll tell you right off the bat, I don't actually go to Drew University. However, I did seriously consider it. Drew had a lot of great things going for it, but there were a few things that ultimately dissuaded me from going there.

Drew is a...

Pros: quality of education, location, size
Cons: cost, size

Going to Drew was, easily, one of the best decisions I've ever made. As an alum, I'm always disappointed that Drew does not have more of a national reputation because my undergraduate experience there was so outstanding.

Academics: The...

Pros: small, close-knit
Cons: small, close-knit

I graduated from Drew last May, and it was a very hard place to leave. Drew was very close to the ideal undergraduate experience for me. I was looking for somewhere small (not the 600 students of my high school small) but small enough to feel...

Pros: Forested campus blocks out the suburban bustle.
Cons: Uh... increased risk of falling acorns?

Over the last decade, I've visited the campuses of many colleges and universities, from Maine to Hawaii. I was only a student at two, and those briefly, so I was usually visiting friends. Nonetheless, I've seen quite a selection of campuses - urban,...

Pros: quality of life and education
Cons: cost, teh listed cost does not include room and board

If you are thinking about attending Drew. Don't hesitate. These will truly be the best years of your life. I as well as any alumni I know have a great affinity for this institute. My only regret is that I can't do it again. Drew offers an education that...

Pros: Good programs
Cons: Bad dorms

I had the chance to visit Drew during the summer. That meant that there were no students around so I did not get a total feel for the school, but I was able to get a good tour of the campus. In fact, my family got a personal tour of the campus, a honor...

Pros: You learn a lot of information in each class.
Cons: Due to the amount of information one must learn, it can be overwhelming.

Drew University offers a variety of courses, taught by passionate faculty. One thing that is definitely apparent when sitting in on a Drew class is that the professor has a special interest in the subject matter. Each professor has unique experiences...
