Overall it's a great place with a lot of great opportunities. Hopefully, they'll lower tuition to expand the place to more people, but still, it's an incredible school.

Drexel University is what you make of it. There are endless opportunities at Drexel available for anyone and everyone. Drexel produces every 1 in 100 engineers, and focuses its teaching to a humanistic-approach of engineering and design. Personally, I am a nursing student in Army ROTC and love how are clinical locations are local.

I think people are a bit stuck within their issues (unable to make friends). The school is supportive of first-generation students and has an abundance of connections and resources. I learned so much and grew my scope of knowledge. I double majored and ended up having a minor along with it. The best decision I made. AND more resources than temple.

Love Drexel university. You can go here and make it your IVY league. It all depends on how you leverage your opportunities and utilize your co-op. The network and experience you get is insane and you are given the opportunity to discover your passions. You just have to go and get them! Not all students are like this but you can find those who are.

The co-op program is the number one reason to go to this school. If you're interested in a path that values work experience, this school is worth the money just for that since it really prepares you for work in the real world. This school is also very diverse and has many cool clubs and people to interact with and choose from.

Please keep yourself healthy by avoiding Drexel University. I wish i knew someone who can advise me not to come to Drexel before i got into it.
Overall 1.9
Terrible school, half the professors expect you to know everything about the course before joining the school is mediocre at best but NOT worth even a fraction of what you pay. The only appeal is the CO-OP program which is only beneficial for certain majors. The extraordinary price is not worth half of anything here. You pay to live like crap.

I regret coming here :( its expensive and they brag about the co op program but more than 50% of internships are not paid and nothing special about them cause other schools get the same internships :/
