What impressed you positively?
The facilities are very nice and the option of choosing between the two educational tracks is also an asset.
What impressed you negatively?
The student interviewer. I also didn't like Philadelphia too much and couldn't see myself living in Philly or going to Drexel for the next 4 years.
What are your general comments?
The day started with a presentation from the dean, telling us about the 2 different tracks that are available. Next we were given a tour, followed by an interview with a faculty member, and then lunch with a student. My faculty interview was great and I enjoyed speaking to the interviewer. On the other hand, my student interview wasnt that comfortable and she ended up asking me ethics questions as well as questions about the health care system (I thought the student interview was supposed to be relaxed and casual). They finished up the day with an optional PIL information session.
