Having graduated through the eveneing program I rateMechanical Engineering
Having graduated through the eveneing program I rate the quality of the education I received to be excellent. Students should take advantage of the education offered and make the most of it. Working in the field for over 20 years it is apparent which engineers did not take their education very seriously, remember it's a competitive world even after school.

Question
I blew highschool out my @$$.Super BrilliantLanguage - French/Spanish/etc.
I blew highschool out my @$$. i graduated with a 2.3 gpa. on the otherhand i can speak 4 languages fluently and have highly refined tastes in social and cultural events. drexhell, is the the complete opposite of anything that i value. i will put this disclaimer: if you arent a computer nerd with a t-shirt that says 'code poet,' or some spinach minded business administration chump, drexel is not likely to be a place you will want to attend college. the teachers are approachable and generally are friendly if you can present yourself as being academically curious or at the very least, polite. the facilities as mentioned elsewhere, are horrendous. the DAC (athletic center) is poorly equiped and generaly overfilled. the campus is poorly organized, labled, and maintained. the administrative elements are suspicious, unfriendly, and innefficient. THe cost is astronomical given that you will recieve net benefit of approximately zero. the students are generally: male, ugly, stupid, uncreative, unwilling to bridge out socally, unable to provide sufficient stimulation to evenly moderately appease someone who is accustomed to the 'feel' of a small highschool- everybody knows who you are, or at least will talk to you because you share a common society,| anyone who doesnt hate drexel is: dumber than the average cafe worker (who are some of the most unfriendly people i have ever met), or going to drexel nearly for free (scholarship achievement types), or terrible artists (it was my own personal bottlerocket), or an engineer/comp. sci. person who is unable to refrain from being obnoxious because of organic dystrophies. these are all adjectives though, there arent any FAITES ACCOMPLIES to accompany it; this is because the atmosphere of drexel is much more important to why it will 'h4x0r' or 'b0rk' your life rather than the individual pieces of the experience (which won't be pleasent either). if you want to go to a university, or a good college, don't come to drexel. if you want to go to vo-tech, or the heinous inner-city high school you never attended come on in! the drexel co-op is highly rated by Financial Times!

Question
I like the city of philadelphia, but drexelQuite BrightPolitical Science
I like the city of philadelphia, but drexel has to be by far the worst campus in the city or of any of the City 6 schools. Something is alweays uselessly under construction when many other things need attention, the cut sports programs left and right (I.E. we have no football, track, baseball, girls volleyball), they kill fraternities more often than i change socks (which is quite frequently), and most importantly the price way exceeds the education and experience you receive from drexel. As the students like to call it the 'Drexel Shaft' (in honor of the way most drexel students feel and also the name of the giant smoke stack right off campus) you too will experience this if you come to this waste of time. And im not saying all this because im disgrutled, i get decent marks, i just dont want anyone else to have the aub par experience.
