The campus is very safe because the areaQuite Bright
The campus is very safe because the area is very quiet and boring. There's a low level of diversity no matter how much ppl try to justify and make excuses, the campus is very white which is something to take into consideration if that's a concern. The campus is quite liberal even though the area isn't. And there's no greek life, and parties have been cracked down on lately so don't expect it to be a major wild butt spanking good time all the time. You have to make your own fun especially on weekends when everyone goes honme.

Question
I studied here in the summers of 2002 and 2003 for SIG.Not so bright
I studied here in the summers of 2002 and 2003 for SIG..the one comment I have to make is that Drew has no college feel, from the organization and architecture. It's a bunch of unorganized buildings plopped down among pretty trees. There's no community whatsoever. It doesn't seem like the classroom buildings are in great shape or have much space. And the dormitories on north campus are hilariously dirty and awful. The food is bad. I didn't actually go here, but this was my fleeting impression.

Question
Drew is divided between bright public students whoOther
Drew is divided between bright public students who receive generous financial aid packages and scholarships, and not-so-bright prep-school grads whose parents apparantly don't mind shelling out tuition that is only a few hundred dollars less than Princeton's.

The academics are solid, though not spectacular. The good news is that a very strong performance at Drew will open impressive graduate school doors for you. However, Drew is not a guarantee of admittance to medical school; only a very small percentage of pre-meds won medical school admission. The school has recently improved its physical facilities by adding a neat new rec-center/gym and a performing arts center that I really wish had existed when I attended.Socially, Drew is built entirely around cliques; and if you are lacking in social skills for any reason, or fail to very quickly assimilate yourself in one of these cliques, you stand a good chance of being miserable at Drew for your entire tenure. That is the hard truth. You may never discover just why it was you were politely ostracized.
