Drew University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Barrett

There is quite an active drug crowd, on the weekends there is nothing to do but drink, and public safety officers frequently are completely useless or overstep boundaries

Amber

I wish I had known how wealthy the rest of the students were, and that I would be somewhat out of place. For the most part the people I am actually friends with are not very well off, so I fit in well with my friends. In general though, the student body has a very North Jersey wealthy style, with lots of UGG boots and designer jeans.

Drew advertises itself to be in close proximity to New York City. Madison, NJ looks close to NYC on a map, but New Jersey Transit takes over an hour and now costs almost $20 for a round trip ticket. I would have liked to have gone to a school that was in or much closer to a metropoitan area. Madison is an extremely dull town. Its residents are afluent and predominantly white and refuse to let their town become a "college town". Madison pretty much shuts down by 8pm.

Cassandra

That there were bo GREEKS and they did not help with my major and that they are divison III.

Christina

I knew everything about it since my cousin went to Drew.

Teresa

I wish I had known that a year after I came, the tuition would go up making Drew the most expensive school in New Jersey. I can't afford paying almost $50,000 a year even with financial aid.
