Drexel University Top Questions

On-campus and off-campus housing can be a little expensive. Drexel is already an expensive school, so living arrangements can be difficult if you're on a budget. The high price is definitely a turn off, but as someone who loves everything else about the school, I chose to look past it and do what needed to be done to attend Drexel.

The dining hall needs more variety and should be cleaner.

The worst thing about Drexel is Penn. Drexel is located right next to the University of Pennsylvania, and living in the shadow of an Ivy League school can be a downer at times. Drexel is an amazing school, we have one of the bust engineering programs in the country, one of the best business programs in North East, and one of the fastest growing art programs in the area. It really is a great school, but the shadow of Penn is always there to remind you you’re not in the Ivy League.

It is expensive

The food can sometimes be harsh and it is better to go out of the campus.

The cost is the worst part. The school is amazing just too expensive for the average person let alone a kid from the ghetto.

Drexel has a regular administration issue with students on the verge of graduation that tends to impact their financial aid. It slows up the process and can leave you scrambling to graduate on time, or stuck taking six years to complete a four year program.

The only thing that I dislike about my school is the expensive cost. Being a single mother of three is hard enough without trying to figure out how I'm going to pay my tuition bill each month. However, these are my circumstances and I've always wanted to attend Drexel so now that I'm finally accepted, I am not going to complain because God will make a way.

The term schedule. It makes school so much more stressful than others because you have to learn everything in only ten weeks. You have less time to bring grades back up if they fall for whatever reason.

The ten week terms. Drexel has a quarter system instead of semesters like most schools. This makes it harder because you only have 10 weeks to a term. This means you must learn all the information for a class in less time which can get tricky.
