Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Dr. Puglia, the head of PIL, gave us a talk that bowled me over. It really inspired me and reminded me why I decided to get into this crazy process to begin with. Also, the students were friendly and the facilities were very nice.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

High-school-ish feel. Big class size. I'm sure it's a fine education, but it doesn't feel like it would be something I'd look back on with fondness. There's not a real sense of community, just 250 individuals who all live off-campus and sort of know each other.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they would stress "WHY DREXEL???" and that we'd have so much time to ourselves.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was all right. My faculty interviewer was nice and we had a good conversation. My student interviewer was also nice enough. I don't know, there just didn't seem to be a rich intellectual tradition there -- it seemed like it would be perfectly fine to go to school there, but you better have a separate support network.
