What impressed you positively?

The curriculum is very intensive, and you have a choice of learning through lectures or through problem based sessions. The quality of the education seems very high caliber, the facilities are very nice, clean and modern, the school is very technologically advanced now that it has become Drexel, everyone was very friendly, students seem happy.

What impressed you negatively?

The crime rate in Philly is much higher than New York (where I live). In fact, to come home from Drexel after dark you need a security guard to drive you, because it's too dangerous to walk.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The student interview was conducted during lunch, so neither of us were really able to eat since we were trying to talk.

What are your general comments?

The doctor who interviewed me seemed very nice and extremely intelligent, but he hardly let me get a word in edgewise during the interview. I barely felt I had a chance to talk about myself, most of the time was spent listening to him talk about what's wrong with healthcare in America, which was very interesting to hear his point of view, but I'm not sure how much information he gained about me that wasn't already in my application.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
