What impressed you positively?

Facilities are so awesome, also they let the students take part in how the school is run (student interviewers for example). But the facilities and the tech stood out, it was really something else.

What impressed you negatively?

Hard to get around w/o a car, and its very expensive. 36k tuition and 20+k expenses, need tons of loans if you go.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be so many interviewees. I only had about 5 other ppl at my other interviews. There were 20 ppl at Drexel

What are your general comments?

My faculty interviewer I think liked what I had to say even though it was only 15 min. The person in front of me also had a short interview, and the interviewer even said he likes to do them fast, so its very stress free, and the questions were very easy. Student interview was good too, it was over lunch in the cafeteria. The tour was also nice, showed us around every area thoroughly and they seemed excited over the kinds of technology they have there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
