Drexel University

Pros: Excellent engineering programs, ever-expanding options, upgrading facilities, and a fantastic Co-op program...
Cons: ... but it's expensive, and the administration sometimes makes half-assed blunders.

I have experienced two versions of college. The first was the directly-out-of-high-school version, involving one year of diligent study then a steady downward spiral of the grades associated concomitant with an upward spiral of the social life. The ...

Pros: Great Engineering/Business programs, Co-op, and awesome location, plus real-world teaching
Cons: Lack of normal summer vacations starting sophmore year, small campus that isn't very green

I just finished my first year at Drexel and I was very impressed with the school overall. When I was first applying to schools, I read the negative Epinions about the school and was honestly worried, but fortunately I had a very positive experience. ...

Pros: Metropolitan area, lots to do in Philadelphia
Cons: School is a rip-off, big frat scene

You really can't understand Drexel until you go there. It seemed like a great school for me: it's right in the middle of Philadelphia & their co-op program would help me line up a job even before I graduate. Well....let me just say there are a lot...

Pros: routine application, good people
Cons: confused, lots of red tape, little organization

When I graduated from college I wasn't ready to find a 'real' job, so I decided to continue my education by getting a master's degree. I performed all sorts of on-line searches and talked with lots of people about where I might get the degree I was...

Pros: Co-op program, city life, education
Cons: An extra year in school, tough schedule, city life

To best sum up my experience at Drexel, you could use a quote from one of my coworkers when I entered the workforce immediately upon graduation: "You are far better prepared for the 'real-world' that most people I've encountered as...

Pros: great experience and great pay
Cons: An extra year to earn your degree, but well worth the extra time

Like most other high school seniors, I was unsure of where I wanted to go to college. There were so many schools out there and I just didn't know which one was right for me. This was the first BIG decision of my life and my whole future depended on this...

Pros: exciting, different, fast-paced, challenging sport for people of any gender and age!
Cons: full contact and high risk for injuries if inexperienced

I have been enrolled at Drexel University for 3 years now, I have been searching for an extracurricular activity that will not only allow me to meet new people and keep myself in shape, but also allow me to experience something different. I mean that's...

Pros: Work Experience, City Location
Cons: Need to be proactive to enjoy the experience

People who attend Drexel University fall into two groups of people. The first is the group that enjoys the experience because they take advantage of what the school provides and overcome what the school doesn't. The second group generally feels...

Pros: One (and only one) good professor
Cons: Everything else

I graduated Drexel University in 1999 with a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering. Now, where should I start? I enjoyed being at Drexel the first year. Classes were outlined fairly well and the professors were ok. Not outstanding - just ok. I was...

Pros: None
Cons: lack of recreation and eating facilities

Drexel's social life environment is pretty pathetic. The only places where you can find food close to campus are the Drexel Pizza shop, The local Seven-Eleven and the Subway and the dorm's convenience store--The only way students party and lead an active...

Pros: in the city, Co-op program
Cons: overwhelming at first

I'm going to begin my last year of a four year program at Drexel University, and so far, it's been an experience and a half. People always told me that my college years will be my best years, and although I was skeptical at the beginning, I am now...

Pros: fun, active, friends, school pride
Cons: short seasons, bad weather at times

I have been on the Drexel University Sailing Team for 3 years now. I have to say that the sailing team has made my college experience much more enjoyable. I have crewed and skippered the many boats that we have in our fleet. They include club 420's, a...

Pros: all you can eat, center of campus
Cons: all you can eat, expensive, only eating option

Maybe I was spoiled as an undergraduate at a major state institution, but the food service at Drexel is astonishingly poor. I have asked and asked if there is another place to eat on campus, and I am routinely told, "Nope."

There is...

Pros: Art Department
Cons: Everything else,

I attended Drexel for my freshman year of college and can tell you it was absolutely the worst year of my life. The apathy of the administration was appalling. One semester I never received a schedule becuase there was a conflict in the classes I picked...

Pros: Co-op, intensive learning, career oriented
Cons: Living in the 'hood, often incompetent administration

Drexel is a University in transition. All the negative things everyoen has come to think about it, its administration, its faculty, and its philosophy have been turned on their ear since it was taken over by the Greek mafia. In order to bring the...
