If I don't know you, it's every man for himself.

I think that we have a pretty good diversity at our school. We do have a lot of Asian students who come here from China but we also have a lot of students from New Jersey and other cities in Pennsylvania. I think we also have a nice diversity of personalities as well, as in we aren't all in frats and sororities.

The student population at Drexel varies tremendously! There are people from all different backgrounds. However, I would say that the commuter student population is the biggest. Drexel is accessible in many ways and since the university is so expensive, students save money by living at home. Once a student gets into the upper level classes, there may not be much variety in the students, but everyone has different views and opinions on every topic, so there is always a good discussion ahead. Depending on the class level (freshman, sophomore, etc), students will wear and interact differently. Most freshman dress in whatever they wore to bed, talk to everyone loudly, and walk the slowest. On the other hand, upper classmen have gotten in work experience and may be working/ going to school at the same time. They wear business casual, concentrate on their studies, and always seem to be in a rush. Everyone still talks to everyone else and there doesn't seem to be many fights or arguments between students because everyone focuses on their work.

Drexel does have a very diverse student body, we have students from all over the world and from all religious and political backgrounds. I would say that it is pretty easy for anyone to find a good group of friends here, and people that share similar views. There are a TON of different clubs and student organizations, there really is something for everyone. Most of the students that go here do come from a wealthier financial background (I mean we were named the most expensive school in the nation), but I do know a few students who are paying their way through themselves (no idea how, but props to them!). Everyone is hoping that when they leave Drexel all the hard work will pay off and they will be making as much if not more than their parents.

If america is the melting pot of the world, Drexel Unversity might be the melting pot of the academic scene. There are students from literally all over the world who decide to come to Drexel to study. The student body is incredibly diverse, and all students will feel welcomed and be able to find their place. The school is a very accepting University.

You can find any type of student at Drexel. There are tons of clubs based on academics, interest groups, religion, and new clubs are popping up each term!
