I love Drew so much! It's small, but one of the highest quality.
Overall 4.9
Drew is a great school all around. If you are unhappy here in terms of parties, you clearly don't have the right friend group because I always have fun on the weekends. School-wise, you get what you put in. If you work hard you will benefit.

Drew University is my second university, so I have something to compare with. The Forest ( Drew) has many opportunities for students, such as Walls street semester, UN semester and semesters abroad. I fell in love with this university, of course not from the first sight, but a bit later. just give time for university to show you its wonders)

Drew University is a great school! A major downside is the food quality is not up to par even with the new updates. Administration can be quite stupid at times which can be a major downfall. The students are some of the kindest and most genuine you will ever encounter. Not to mention night life is great if you hang around the right crowd.

I love Drew!! Good school! Liberal arts at its best! The only complaint that I have about the school is that it the ratio or men to women is a bit off. Other than that, it is a great college. I would not trade my experience there for any other college.

Drew is one of the most beautiful campuses in the North East. They have remodeled the Commons, and the food is awesome with lots of choices. NYC is just a short train ride away and the station is just minutes away by foot. Professors are very knowledgeable and the campus is just stunning. Students are very kind and very open to everyone.

Drew University is a fantastic college. I graduated from Drew five years ago and had a great education there. Drew is not well known outside of NJ/NYC, but it is really a school worth looking into if you are an "academic" student. Drew isn't a party school. It is a school that will help you obtain a foundation for your future!

I loved going to Drew. It's a wonderful community, and a beautiful campus. The professors are brilliant and always happy to help if a student doesn't understand. I am so glad I chose to attend Drew.

Public Safety is the worst, barely comes and helps students. Serious events happened on campus and they didn't do anything. Overall, I would rate this school a 2/5. Food is trash, internet crashes and doesn't work a lot, and the atmosphere is decent if you like nature and bugs.

Overall disappointment.
Overall 1.7
I do not attend Drew University anymore... I left because it was truly terrible and ridiculously overpriced. The professors are alright, not stellar and definitely no better than those over at Rutgers. The campus is quaint but boring, as is Madison. Everything is dumb-downed here...honestly it's like a day care for rich college kids.

The administration at Drew is frankly terrible. The food makes students physically ill. Public Safety is pretty much useless due to constant staff turnover and lack of training. Last Sloppy Saturday, there were 11 transports, some of which were entirely unnecessary.
