Drew is definitely an outstanding university filled with amazing people and professors. The academics do not get enough credit among nation polls because the work here is pretty challenging but requires you to really think and apply different concepts. Socially Drew can be a little depressing but only if you make it that way for yourself, it is SO easy to get involved on campus. The location is in Madison, NJ and the city itself is pretty quiet and boring but having such easy access to NYC is a huge perk. Overall, Drew is an amazing university where you can literally do anything you want, you will also be given so many opportunities to succeed and grow as a person. All I can say is that choosing Drew was probably the best decision I have ever made.

College is all about what you put in. Drew is an outstanding school and anyone who says otherwise simply didnt explore the opportunities or have an open mind. Are the athletics the best in the country? No. Is the food the best? No. However, the quality of the professors, the resources and programs available, and the overall structure of the school is second to none. Outside of classwork you have Madison, Morristown, Hoboken, and NYC right around the corner. You have the Wall Street and UN semester, which present amazing value. People are indeed going to have negative opinions, and thats fine because Drew isnt going to please everyone, but in the end I know my buddies and I had a great experience. I left there knowing I had a good education, foundation, and I departed with connections all over Wall Street. If your reading this, I would say go see Drew for yourself. Its not a huge, division 1 school, but I am sure you will like it.

Drew University 100% helped me achieve the goals I had set out for myself. I wanted a great group of friends, great professors, small classes, internships in Manhattan and on campus, study abroad options, interesting classes, and a beautiful, historical campus and Drew met all of those qualifications above and beyond. College is what you make it, and many people expect college to come to them, and expect the "college experiences" to come to them, but you have to go out and make friends, participate in class, do the work, and make the effort to obtain the things you "expect" out of college. Drew University offers every student the ability to achieve what they want to achieve, and it is up to the student to work for it, rather than wait for it to come to them. I was a Psych major, Spanish minor, and had an on-campus internship for 3 years, and an external internship in Manhattan the spring semester of my senior year. I graduated on a Saturday and started work the following Monday, and almost 3 years later I am still working in my field of choice. If Drew had not had the internship program I wouldn't have been able to go commute to NYC twice a week for my internship which ultimately led me to my first job out of college. If I didn't have professors who were willing to meet with me at all times of the day, and work with me specifically to help me understand something, I wouldn't have been able to finish my major early and take the time to do an off-campus internship. If Drew didn't have the Drew International Seminars (DIS) I wouldn't have been able to go to Argentina in between semesters (all expenses paid) and all I had to do was pay for the credits which I was able to get a scholarship for. Choosing Drew was one of the best decisions I ever made, and not only did it help me have an amazing college experience, but it set me up to be fully prepared for the work world, gain invaluable friendships, and allow me to meet my husband. Drew is the best and provides students with all of the resources they need in order to succeed.
