What impressed you negatively?

"-Weird neighborhood;it's really suburban on a one block radius around the school but outside of that I could not figure out whether I was in the Third World. -$35,000 a year!!! -Not the best education for your money. -Drexel is a rather unstable institution financially; it changed hands three times in the past 10 years! -The student interview was very clumsily coordinated;in an attempt to make it laid back, they had it during lunch! This was certainly weird and pretty inappropriate. -People had to take shuttle buses to interview locations fromt the school in the outskirts of Philly to Hahnemann hospital in center Philly. -The school had a high-schoolish appearance to it and I did not the get the University feeling from it" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Pretty laid back and everyone is nice. The PBL curriculum and the IFM is pretty appealing and shows that the school has a correct trajectory in it's educational approach. Yet, the school did not have the luster to it. I think that it would be better to stick to your state school for a better education at a much cheaper price. " Report Response
