What impressed you positively?

"The facilities are BEAUTIFUL, and there's going to be a new building with a big student center complete before the class of 2010 gets there. Their curriculum looks really good, like they have really put a lot of thought into making the learning pleasant, fun, and memorable -- especially the PBL track -- and I just don't know why Drexel has such a mediocre reputation. Despite what other people have said on this website, the school is not far away from Philadelphia, in fact it is in the city (just not downtown), and the night after my interview my cousin took me to a really nice neighborhood nearby with a hopping nightlife." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
