Drew is a great liberal arts college.Quite Bright
Drew is a great liberal arts college. I was an English major and graduated in 2014. I miss the campus a lot. It is unlike many colleges because it does not have a Greek system which I think is a good thing. Students take it upon themselves to engage in clubs and campus activities without the presence of Greek life. The academics are also pretty good. I learned a lot in my courses and made some good connections along the way. The school is big on study abroad, so be prepared to take advantage of this opportunity. Some of the campus facilities are in need of repair and the administration is slow to make improvements. It could be because money for such things is in short supply but nonetheless, the university should enhance the quality of the food and the campus resources.

Question
Drew is a dump.Not so bright
Drew is a dump. Do not go here. The only thing that is remarkable about the campus are the tall oak trees. Otherwise, there is nothing about this university that is remarkable. It does not feel like a college. The courses lack rigor and it is not the real world. Do not waste your money going here.

Question
Look elsewhere.Quite Bright
Look elsewhere. Drew has some positive aspects but overall this school is average and not worth the money. Drew does not have any name recognition outside of NJ. Honestly, I didn't enjoy my time there and I felt that the academics were pretty fluffy. The courses lacked substance and there wasn't much work assigned. When I graduated from Drew, I kind of asked myself, what did I just get out of my education there. Maybe it wasn't the right fit for me but I felt that I would have benefited from a more challenging academic curriculum. Drew did not deliver on this end. The campus is pretty but honestly it's in the middle of a park and this has some serious drawbacks like flooding, deadwood falling all over from the trees and the lack of a university feel. Drew is good for a certain type of student and I recommend looking at the school if you are molded to Drew's environment. However, if you are looking for the real college experience with a challenging curriculum that makes you busy yourself to get a B plus, then do not look at this school.
