I am just responding to the previous poster. I guarantee that anyone who rated Drew's education an F did NOT go to Drew! The best part of Drew is the high quality of its education. Drew has an excellent reputation in the east but may have a noteriety issue around the rest of the country. Drew students are generally pleased with their university. My freshman year roommate started at Drew, transferred to UPenn because it was a more known school, and then came back to Drew because the overall quality of the education was better at Drew. I would not hesitate to attend Drew if I had to do the school selection process again.

It was a great choice for those 4 years of my life. However, it didn't prepare me for the real world. I had so much trouble finding a job after college. No one knew the name and if they did, they had very low opinions of it. If you care about your future do not go here.

Most of the faculty are not passionate about what they do. Yet, there are a handful, and they are wonderful. But don't expect a "Dead Poet's Society" or Harvard-level of inspiration. Most of them punch-out as soon as they can.
The staff is horrible. The internship office is a joke (the director actually lied to another professor about something which I have e-mail evidence for), as is the registrar. The finanical aid office messed up my aid (which were personal loans that I took out, but they held-up or cancelled) almost every semester.
For the money you pay, you'll feel like you're at the DMV. The staff are like inept children - you will need to follow-up a million times about everything or they'll forget. Write & save e-mails! Even if you chat about something in person - send a follow-up e-mail so you have evidence!
Again, you or your parents will have to be diligent for all the money you pay.
