For the most part, my classes were ok. Show up, do your work, and you're fine. But administratively, Drexel is the worst school I have ever been to. It takes an average of 6-7 phone calls + 5 emails to get a response from anyone (no exaduration here - it took over two years for my transfer credits, 1 1/2 for the correct financial aid, and 10 months to get a mistake cleared from my record). Its all so frustrating. I spend avg. an hour a day making stupid phone calls to Drexel staff for their stupid mistakes. God forbid you should ever need help from an advisor. In all fairness, some the professors are great, but some leave you wondering why you spent the money - leaving dumber than when you came in. For the money (I paid $2000 for online and $1850 for regular classes) go to Penn. I was shocked to learn that Penn costs are comparable!!! Their campus looks much nicer and from what I've heard they have a far better reputation -
