Drexel University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Drexel University? Why?

Laura

There is no campus feel, no football team, and there isn't much to do that the student body takes part in as a whole.

Anessa

The worst thing about my school is that it is a complete construction site at the moment.

Vanessa

They make changes in the final year of school. There shouldn't be any changes in your last year that could affect you graduating.

Demanding if you want to stand out from the crowd

Brandi

The school is more focused on job placement for the more "academic" programs, leaving students in more art-based fields to fend for themselves. I've also had some trouble with the financial aid and advising departments, which were resolved but not after a lot of work on my part.

Melissa

The worst thing abut my school has to be the campus size and building diversity. It's not terrible once you get used to it (they do give you a beautiful view of the city), but being right down the street from the very uniform UPenn can really make you remember how ugly the campus truly is.

There appears to be a lack of "real" concern for students at the adminstrative level. This can be disconcerting for students dealing with financial aid, scheduling, academic advising, or other issues. While the school recognizes this problem and has been making a steady attempt to improve the quality of service and help it provides to students, there has been no significant improvements in this area. Students are often treated as a number instead of person, are oftentimes ran in circles, given insufficient help/support for pressing issues. Networking helps to amerliorate this issue but doesn't fully eradicate it.

Glenn

The worst thing about the school is the amount of money you have to spend in order to obtain a degree. Each year's tution alone is around $24,000 and I am a five year student because of the 3 Co-op cycle; so that is $120,000 in just tution. That number doesn't include living expense, books, adminstrative and lab fees, rent money, and whatever else you might need. So if you want to come to Drexel University you have to motivated to learn or you could lose a bunch money.

Matthew

The campus, being in the city, there aren't many secluded places to go.

Han

What I consider as the worst thing about my school is the actual structure of the building. I attend The Nursing and Health Professions School of Drexel University and I really don't like how the building looks. Some rooms don't have windows and sometimes the escalators don't work. There are also no stairs for you to take if theelevators and escalators are packed.
