Drexel University

The red tape is a NIGHTMARE.
Questions, requests for help, complaints, etc. are lost in the shuffle between staff members who are constantly offloading work to other departments in a vicious cycle.

There is a shortage of academic advisors who generally give poor advice.The school's elecronic systems (web email, class registration, assignment submission, resume builder & internship search, etc.) are difficult to use and a source of constant student frustration.

I originally applied to DU for its Co-op program and I felt comfortable with that decision because of the work experience that I was going to gain before graduation. After participating in the Co-op program, the help I received from our office, if any, was useless. The only benefit here is having the time to fit a co-op into my schedule. There are so many other schools, about 2 dozen now that offer similar co-op programs, and though I can't personally speak about them, they are worth checking out.

While on co-op at Drexel tuition is still paid and extremely high at that. There is so much administrative issues with this school that it makes anything difficult to get though. I suppose once I graduate I will have more patients then most graduating at other universities. Your next question is probably why I am still here. Due to DU's unique co-op schedule it doesn't allow students to easily transfer credits so I would be very almost a year behind if I left this university!
