What impressed you positively?

The campus is very nice and clean. Everyone seemed friendly. The neighborhood is nicer than i expected. As a lot of other reviewers have written, it does seem like the middle of nowhere, but I thought it was a nice distance (15 min) from center city philly.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much to complain about except that the school and Hanneman hospital are not in the same place, so the campus is very small.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

The student interview over lunch was informative and very stress free. A good idea on Drexel's part. The faculty interview was not bad at all for me. I didnt get any hard ethical questions or questions about solving the healthcare crisis.
