Drexel University Top Questions

The Chemistry department is under-funded, making it difficult to go to research conferences (and other similar activities) without spending some of your own money. The department is currently in search of a permanent department head, and some of the candidates have great ideas and plans for how to get more funding, but I will likely graduate before those plans go into effect.

I wish I had known how cold it is up here. I'm from Florida and I do not fair too well in the winters.

I wish I had know about the amount of scholarships available on the internet. I also wish I had known about the many opportunities to work both on and off campus. There is so much opportunity in college outside of the classroom. From independent research, to jobs, to social activities. I didn't take advantage in much outside of the classroom which I regret.

Good feed back from alumni, and friends

The difficulties of being a commuter.

Before attending high school I wish that I had known what it meant to be myself. When I first started high school I had a big group of freinds, but I never really had fun. My friends were nothing like the kind of person that I was. They were mean to everyone inside and outside of our small group. As I grew up though high school I learned that I was only pretending to be like them so that I would have freinds and be invited places. By the end I left those friends to make ones more like me.

I wish I would have understood the financial process a little better. The financial aid or requirements for the matter seem extremely unorganized and confusing.

I wish I had known more about the limitations of the co-op system which is the most advertised aspect of the university. The school gives you numbers/percentages for the overall student body, in terms of getting a co-op and whether it's unpaid or not. When they average numbers, they don't tell you that the majority of the paid jobs are in engineering, and they don't provide much information about how many co-ops there really are in each major. Sometimes people have to look in other majors for a co-op.

I wish that I would have known Drexel does not provide nursing loans or scholarships for their accelerated nursing program.

I wish I would of known how intense the accelerated nursing program was, but I'm always up for a challenge.
