What impressed you positively?

The school is pretty technologically advanced...also, the clinical skills center.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, it is kind of too bad that the med school campus is actually 8 miles from Center City. Also, the library is very, very small.

What are your general comments?

I am from the area, so I thought I had some idea of what Drexel is all about. I was a little concerned about the University's torrid history (the name changes, new management, etc), but the presentation by the the admisisons director put my fears to rest. I must admit that I went in expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the admissions staff, students, and faculty. OH, and the faculty interview is open file, while the student interview is closed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
