What are your general comments?

"I love Drexel, the students are happy and the faculty know the students. The PIL program is a great side to the traditional lecture based programs. Faculty interview is open file followed by a student interview closed file over lunch. Stay with a student if possible they give plenty of info and the real dirt on the school if any. There are trains that run from the airport to Queen lane (med campus) for $10 one way." Report Response
