Drexel University Top Questions

Drexel University has a very prominent engineering program. One-fifth of all students earning a bachelor's degree are majoring in one of the engineer disciplines. As a result, the stereotypical student at Drexel would be the "engineering major." This type of student is very focused in school. They are determined to earn very high marks, and are not worried about their social life. They came to school to earn their degree, and use it to propel them to a very successful career. He or she often stays up late and even miss sleep entirely to achieve his or her goals. Although this may be the stereotype, and I myself may fall into this stereotype a bit, it's certainly not true for all students. Not all engineering majors are this type of student, and there are plenty of students not majoring in engineering at Drexel.
