Drexel
University is one of those schools that has a good
reputation. However, that's probably due to its' co-op program, it's
one and only good thing about the school. Aside from
that, the rest of the experience at Drexel is very
lacking. The quality of the education isn't very satisfying, at
least for the Information Technology major, I can't speak for
any other majors. The professors dont' seem very competant in
teaching because students never understand the material the first time
around. What's worse is that at times, there have been
tests that haven't been reflective of what has been taught
in class. Contrary to this, I've heard very wonderful things
about the Engineering and Business majors at this school. However,
if you are not going to be these majors, I
suggest going to another college as the education at Drexel
is very lacking. Probably the worst aspect of Drexel University
is the financial aid factor. It is a NIGHTMARE. Students
are obviously being overcharged for practically everything and the tuition
and costs just keep increasing. The school has jacked up
the tuition price by $6000 since I have gotten to
this school and finshed my freshmen year. None of this
money seems to be going to anything useful either. It
seems to be going towards construction for the University but
the students who are being overcharged to fund this construction
won't even be able to enjoy the benefits of it.
The financial aid office isn't a reliable place either, they
have lost mine and many student's paperwork and made mistakes
countless amount of times. It just isn't right, the students
are being overcharged for a university that is very lacking.
If the university didn't cost so much, I wouldn't mind
the unsatisfying education as much but students are paying ALOT
of money for lackluster education. What also angers me is
that students are often charged for things without our knowledge.
As for the social life aspect of the university,
it's pretty typical of high school socializing. You meet other
people you like, you start talking to them and before
you know it you became friends. Nothing to complain about
here. The extra curriculars don't seem very appealing to me
so I've never joined any which is why I can't
judge it. I have to admit that the on-campus activities
can be pretty cool at times. Especially Thursday night movies
and probably the most memorable event was the snowball fight
in June. The dorming and housing portion of Drexel however,
is not so impressive. I'm sure this part of the
experience differs for everyone but my experience at Kelly Hall
was not very pleasant AT ALL. The bathroom was always
unsanitary (it was the students fault, not the faculty, the
faculty did a good job in cleaning it but it
always ended up nasty again in no time). The entire
floor has to share one public restroom, which isn't typical
of many schools (and no desirable either). The rooms are
typical, they are somewhat small but no real complaints about
the room itself. The dorm life was very horrible for
me, the people were like those sterotype college students on
television: always partying and drunk. It was very difficult to
stick around the room because of all the noise and
nothing being done about it. Every week we were charged
for something being broken and no one coming forth to
give information as to who broke it, as a result
everyone had to pay. This irritated everyone on the floor
because it just isn't fair to have to keep dishing
out more money than we already have for something that
a very small group of idiots have done. Anyways, overall,
Drexel Univeristy, is NOT a very good experience. Unless you
have a full scholarship to come here and you're going
to be a Business or Engineering major, I wouldn't recommend
coming to Drexel Univeristy.
