What impressed you positively?

drexel's curriculum is very student oriented. i also was attracted to the location of the school - nice and quiet. this one is a personal thing, so its not a plus for all people.

What impressed you negatively?

the tour guide MS-1. he loved hearing his own voice and if it were required for me to interact with him on a daily basis, i would not go to drexel. other than that, it was all just fine.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

i learned nothing new while i was there.

What are your general comments?

relaxed. i flew all the way from alaska though, so i had wished to have more in depth discussions. AK to PA just to "tell them about myself" seems a little disrespectful. i would also have liked an opportunity to discuss my scientific publications and my graduate work, but it never came up. just be able to discuss your personal experiences and how they impacted you. be articulate.
