Drexel University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Vanessa

I wish i knew more about the nursing program as far as grading, testing, and clinical placement.

Morganne

That I would have gotten just as good of an education, and even better preparation for medical school, for less cost at a different college. Drexel is fun, but not worth the money/stress of financial aid.

Katherine

The insane total cost

Kegan

I wish I had known how intense the ten week quarter system was. There are usually three rounds of midterms (during week 3, week 6, and week 9) followed by finals during week 11. With 4-5 classes a semester as a full time student this kind of schedule can be extremely grueling for the unprepared student. There is no time to slack off and very little room for error. Focus, dedication, commitment and time management skills are MUST HAVES at Drexel. However, it's not impossible. The system just typically weeds out those who aren't serious about education.

Ryanne

Nothing

Dianne

It is not very artistic and financial aid is hard to come by.

Ramen

How much help the staff provided.

Aynes

I wish I had known how much money I would be spending living on campus considering it's the city. I wish I had a better idea and known to save more than I expected.

Dennis

My impression of this school was very accurate. I had no suprises

Clifford

I wish I had common knowledge of the social atmosphere. Drexel University isn't the most social campus in the United States. Furthermore, there weren't many diverse activities participate in. Nonetheless, I have enjoyed my years in Drexel University. I became familiar with a culture that was way out of my norm in a racial and economic sense.
