What impressed you positively?

The students seemed really enthusiastic about the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the school. Its 25 minutes from the hospital and in the middle of the suburbs.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the campus is really COMPLETELY isolated from Philly. Also, a student told me that if you wanted to go into academic medicine or a subspeciality (like I do) then you shouldn't go to Drexel.

What are your general comments?

The school was hard to find for me--I got lost on the way. My interviewer was ancient and asked weird questions. The students seemed like they were generally older and many married, which is fine for some people, but I am 21. Overall, the facilites are nice and the students seemed eager, but it just isn't the school for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
