Drexel University Top Questions

Academically focused and industry relevant.

The co-op program is pretty unique. Not many other schools offer 3 6-month internships for students during their undergraduate program. The 5-year, quarter program is also very unique to this school.

Co-op is the best college choice you can make - and Drexel has a great program! Best way to ensure a good job right out of college.

Drexel's Co-Op program makes it unique Instead of two 16-week semesters we have four ten-week terms. Most chose the 5-year/3 Co-Op options. This means that when you graduate, you not only have a degree from an outstanding university but 18 months of paid experience in your field. What other university can offer that?

Drexel is an abusive father. You know how loving he can be when you manage to stay on his good side, but most of the time you just wonder why he has to hurt you, and it makes you want to run away from home. The administration is Drexel's inner child molester. The co-op people, who are supposed to teach professionalism, don't answer their phones and will be busy with something else when you show up for an appointment. Financial Aid will fuck you and make your little sister watch. I'm a National Merit Finalist, which normally gets you a full scholarship at Drexel, but they wouldn't give me the scholarship because I graduated high school as a junior and was enrolled when I got the Finalist letter. After I pushed they said the program was new the year after I applied, but all I hear is I would have got more money if I lazed through high school another year, and they don't want to reward talent if they don't really have to. Don't listen to me, though. Draw your own conclusions. The new president (Fry) puts on looks of caring, but reeks of the same old song and dance. Time will tell.

Drexel University provides a unique combination in its Co-op program and location in the city of Philadelphia. As a Psychology Major, it will be extremely easy for me to integrate my Co-op experience with the unique needs of individuals in the city.

The amount of experience Drexel University provides, in both its Co-op program and environment are unmatched.

Also, they offer a wide range of classes, to fit anyones interest.
