Drexel University - College Prowler Guide (Off the Record)

College guides written by students for students.

Drexel University Students Tell It Like It Is
You've probably heard all of the stuff the school wants you to hear. But what will life at Drexel really be like? Before you make a decision, read the College Prowler guidebook and find out what the students think you need to know!

Are you envisioning a wild party scene? Well, listen to what this student has to say:

"Parties aren't too great on campus, but bars and clubs off campus are fun. There are a few main Drexel bars, and with UPenn students nearby, there is always something going on."

There's a lot more that you need to hear:
* Get on the smallest meal plan possible
* It's not a big party school
* It's more technical/vocational oriented than academically-oriented (but they're working on that)
* You get tested constantly with four, 10-week terms per year
* It's not good for people to be undecided about their majors
Read student quotes on?

Academics: "Some of the classes are interesting, and others I hated. It all depends on the teachers. Make sure you ask upperclassmen about professors before you pick your classes."
Guys and Girls: "Drexel is not known for hot people. Sorry, we are a tech school-lots of dorks!"
Housing: "I'd have to say as a freshman, the best dorms are Towers or Myers. As an upperclassman, I'd have to say North Hall."
Dining: "The food is not too bad on campus. I just wish there were more healthier places for us to eat, besides cheesesteak stands." There's a lot more to a school than a brochure or a campus visit can tell you.
