Architecture is a great field as it blendsArchitecture
Architecture is a great field as it blends art and science. Money can be made in the field, but don't get into it for that alone as the average employee will only make a fair wage when compared to other professionals. As for schools Drexel is a good school, it's Architectural program only downfall is the fact it is a night program and this requires a longer time period to graduate with a professional degree. However it does allow for the possibility of working while in school which is very benefical adding skills the typical college graduate will not have in the job force. Best of luck to all students in all their endeavors.

Well, I can't really comment much on theQuite BrightArchitecture
Well, I can't really comment much on the outside life, but the architecture program is really good. Granted you have no life and live in the studio, you get to know the people you are with really well. You become good friends and work together, and frequently just sit around bashing some of the professors. Outside of architecture, I admit, the courses are pretty easy. Not difficult, not challenging, adn the other students are sadly, probably not up to the level of the courses anyway.All in all, come here for architecture if nothing else.

Question
If you have to deal with financial aid,Quite BrightAccounting
If you have to deal with financial aid, scholarships or the bursar about unfair charges being applied to your account, do not go to this school. You are lucky if you get a response to your first email as everything has to go through ask.drexel.edu and if you do, the response is typically unhelpful and results in the student incurring more debt and fees than anything else. If I knew what I know now, I would have never attended this school. Worse mistake of my life that I will be paying for over the next 20 years.
