Drexel University Top Questions

Drexel University is an extremely fast-paced learning enviroment. Every course that a student takes is specific to your major. With a 10-week term as opposed to a 15-week sememster, classes are constantly going over new material. The student must be prepared to start working towards their major right off the bat. It is an extremely challenging school. It is often hard to take a time to rest as academics consume a lot of my time. If you are looking for a fast paced and specific learning path Drexel is for you. If not, find somewhere else.

Drexel is very unique being as though it is one of the few schools on a quarter system and also Drexel has a Co-Op system that is leading other schools around the nation. The Co-Op system was the main reason why I applied. I realized that it will give me 18 months of work experience by the time I graduate. Most students struggle to fine an internship, while I have a huge database of jobs available to me. Drexel really gives its students a leg up on others after graduation.

Drexel is very unique because of its career focused "Co-Op" program. The Co-Op program allows students to have a job within their field for 6 months at a time, with a maximum of 3 Co-Ops per student. Drexel teaches students good interviewing and professional techniques and also helps students find Co-Ops. The main reason I chose Drexel was due to the Co-Op program, because I knew it would help me figure out what career path I want to take.

One of the most unique things about Drexel is the Co-op program which gives students the experience of having a job before going out into the real world.

Drexel offers the opportunity to do a co-op program during several quarters throughout your college experience. Drexel offers massages during finals week to help relieve some of the stress caused by working so hard. This school and the staff has shown me a lot of support. They are very organized and interested in your success.

Drexel is unique because of its co-op program and trimesters. Most students from other schools do not understand why we are working 9-5 for 6 months and then taking classes for the other 6 months even through the summer.

Drexel University has a wide range of areas to study. I strongly suggest that students get involved in campus life to become apart of the Drexel commnity.
