Drexel University

I feel sorry for the kids who have never experienced another university. Drexel is notorious for the shaft, and that is felt every semester or trimester or whatever it is? The administration pulls policies out of the air then implements them without telling anyone, and they usually get away with it because the students are a. used to being shafted or b. don't care because they are leaving soon. Unfortunately, for the incoming students they don't know any better. If you have to attend Drexel then nag the hell out of your advisers (that is if you get a friendly one: usually they feel as if they are part of the "Administration," and the teachers and students are just plebs) because that is the only way you will find out about information pertaining to your Major (i.e. writing intensive courses, Drexel no longer accepting transfer credits etc...).

Be prepared for LOTS of e-mail from them, my e-mail client picks it up as spam because they send so much of it. That is there weak try of "being in touch with the students."There is light at the end of this tunnel...maybe. Some of the teacher ARE nice and helpful. Some you just can't understand them. Then, there are the doctors etc... that are too busy with their own thing they don't really care.

Avoid Drexel at all costs. Many naive high school students are lured in by their claims of prestige and a great co-op program. If you want an internship, get one on your own during the summer. A 2 month clerical job is much better than a 6 month one. Everyone I know who went there hates it.
