Honestly, Drexel is a very good school IFAverageBiology
Honestly, Drexel is a very good school IF and only IF you are a business or an engineering major. If you want to learn theory forget it. The quarter system moves so fast you dont retain any knowledge. All this school cares about is co-op, which in my opinion is overrated. You still have to pay while you are on co-op so ignore the boasts of all the money you will get paid, because in the end you are in still in the red.

The tuition is not worth it, unless you are business or engineering. Professors are hit or miss, I had one that was excellent. Just one. Feel like I have to constantly cram information because of the fast pace. Staff is unapproachable, advisors are unhelpful. Dining hall is decent, dorms are pretty good. Good school for engineers, business, law, etc. BAD for everything else, if you want to be a teacher, avoid at all costs.

The only thing Drexel cares about is money.BrightBiology
The only thing Drexel cares about is money. They don't care about helping their students. If I could make my decision again, I would have went elsewhere! While the school did offer a great program the professors were never available to help you outside of the short amount of office hours they did have.
