I can not wait to transfer from here.Business - Management and Administration
I can not wait to transfer from here. Everything you've read negative about this University you will probably experience in the first two terms. Students get jerked around by administration non-stop. I just got done with a math workshop last term which I did not schedule, and just appeared on my schedule because I scored low on my math placement tests. Students have not received their Math 101 grades because a professor did not enter them and around 50 students received no grade for their class. And this term for Math 102 the two professors decided to swap sections for a time slot, so if you signed up for one professor you got the other one. These are just a few of the comlaints I can think of. Seriously, before coming to Drexel University talk to students that go here now, they'll tell you what its like. The campus tour and orientation is not an accurate depiction of this University.

Question
I should have my degree in surviving redCommunications
I should have my degree in surviving red tape. B.S.? Yes, went through a lot of BS at Drexel. The administration is the worst in the world - you get the run around from absolutely everyone for everything. I can't tell you how much time I have wasted trying to chase people down for seemingly simple admin requests. If I let my work at my day job sit around the way Drexel does, I'd have been fired years ago. For what they are charging, service should be so much better. I wish I had known then what I know now....go to another school. Oh, and the online program is a joke. Be warned.

Question
If you are going into architecture, trust me,Quite BrightArchitecture
If you are going into architecture, trust me, GO HERE. Anyother major--stay away. We have a blast in architecture, whether we are working all night or not. I wouldn't trade it for the world. We have the whole building to ourselves, its a blast, 24/7. Plus, you really learn a lot. You'll see the rest of the university sucks, but if you are in the architecture bubble its great.
