Good campus with friendly people.

Tips: Drexel as a university has a mix of academic rigour and a more practical experience which ultimately benefits in the workplace scenario. By studying here, I have learnt the need to stay organised and manage my time well as even a slight misbalance can lead to a lot of stress. There are lots of Indian food options available but it might be costly to eat out most of the days so cooking can be the best alternative. The faculty is very helpful, friendly and supportive and you can reach out to them in case of any problem. Everything else has been good so far.

Learning a lot with supportive and understanding faculty.

Tips: Studying at Drexel is truly very unique experience among the usual college experience in the United States. But the co-op programme is something you should really look into as this will make you realise the true potential of networking in an experiential learning setting and how far it can go. There are lots of job opportunities so start looking for them during your last semester. Do participate in clubs, seminars, activities and events. Overall, I had a good experience.

The university provided a very unique and interesting experience.

Tips: Studying at Drexel University has given me an ideal academic and social experience. The major highlight here for me was the co-op programme which allows you to have a more practical experience of whatever you are learning in the classrooms. My advice is that you start your co-op search early and get help from the academic services.

Decent college that provides good education.

Tips: Students should learn to be self-sufficient fundamentally and emotionally. It is important that you take some time before the commencement of your classes to simply explore campus and be a part of as many cultural and peer groups as you can handle, at least initially.
