Good campus life offered here.

Tips: I notice that the campus is really nice and campus life here has something for almost everyone. The class sizes are smaller than I had expected but at least it leads to better student teacher interaction and very involved lessons. Office hours are actually useful and professors do their best to accommodate everyone so you don't need to be nervous or hesitant. Not worth coming here in your undergrad, though.

Master of Science in Pharmacology & Physiology - Batch of 2026

Welcoming campus and great social life.

Tips: My first impression here was that things are very fast paced as the academic calendar here moves quickly because of the quarter system so it seems like once you start figuring things out, the lessons get over. Otherwise the Indian community is quite active; there's stuff like cricket matches and events quite regularly. Housing costs tend to vary based on where you're staying.

Livable city with a focus on career.

Tips: What I liked the most here was the practicality and career focused aspect of classes here. The professors are helpful and compassionate people which is important, especially when it comes to current circumstances. Don't hesitate to explore and there's a lot of life here outside of classrooms as well. The SEPTA subways make computing here quite easy.

Great co op program and solid industry experience.

Tips: The biggest reason for my coming here as is the case for a lot of other students in my batch is because of the co op programme and the industrial experience you gain because of it. The lessons learnt here are super valuable and the student life offered has been fun and exciting as well. Lots of students are spread out in the city, giving it a college town feel. There is no guarantee when it comes to employment and sponsorship so make sure you apply in other countries as well.

Drexel - Worth the investment.

Tips: It was a smooth transition, no big culture shift except for rules and regulations. People are very friendly and welcoming. I didn't get any scholarships but there are definitely some options if you want one. I am very happy with the choice I made. I am enjoying it here.

Likes (Student Life): Good facilities, gym, sports and many others. You feel you have everything to enjoy your college life, there are many events organized by clubs here, join a club and you will be even more involved, there is always one or the other event happening every day, so you can never miss one.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Given the current situation, I am not sure the possibility of getting a permanent settlement here, but given a chance too, I am not very curious or excited about it. I plan to move back to India and live with my family, I am here for educational purposes.
