What impressed you positively?

The students were all very nice. They really stressed how it was a non-competetive environment. IFM lectures seemed really casual with the professors interacting with the students a lot. Cheap on-campus housing (relative to CA).

What impressed you negatively?

There is nothing at all around the campus. Everyone seemed to just study all the time. You have to take the train to get into center Philadelphia.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How ghetto the surrounding area of Germantown is. The medical school is one building.

What are your general comments?

Overall the interviews were very laid back. My faculty interviewer was a sweet lady who asked me very broad questions (I was able to talk about whatever I wanted). She was very encouraging during the interview, always giving me reaffirming comments saying "This is good, real good." I got along really well with my student interviewer. We had a fun conversation, and we just talked and talked for a hour. The choice of curriculum is unique to Drexel, but I could see people getting depressed here because there is nothing to do around campus. Overall, if accepted, I would definitely come to this school.
