Drexel University Top Questions

I love being able to walk the streets of Philadelphia. There is always something going on. I also like that if there is a problem somewhere in the city I get a notification on my phone.

BECAUSE I AM A BUSY OLDER STUDENT RETURNING TO SCHOOL, OTHER THAN IT'S WONDERFUL REPUTATION, I APPLIED BECAUSE IT HAD A COMPLETELY ONLINE DEGREE DEVOTED TO MY DESIRED AREA OF STUDY.

Being so close to the city - you have opportunities to explore and learn things you wouldn't on any other campus. The Drexel Shuttle goes into the city every 15 minutes from campus and drops you off at 15th and Race (2 blocks north of city hall).

the co-op program. I hope that it will allow me to get job experience that will help me in my future career.

Drexel has a cooperative education program above all others with 98{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} placement.

The co-op program allows you to work and make money while you go to the school.

The best thing i sthe ease of getting internships. They are built into the curriculum and nearly everyone at Drexel does at least one. Students must take a class that teaches how to interview and write a resume. They also have a database where you can apply for internships/ They really make it easy to find one.

Drexel University had a great cooperative internship program that provided nearly all students with excellent outside work experience for three six months stints throughout the course of their 5 year education. I believe that this helps students gain knowledge and work experience to make them more succeptible to being hired post-graduation.

The cooperative education program

The sense of community within each individual college is the best thing about my school. My college keeps us updated on what is happening within the institution and informs us of any events in the area, and the administrators are always available to help a student through anything, be it financial aid, scheduling conflicts, or student life in general.

The best thing about my school is the co-op program. The co-op program allows students to gain real work experiance in 6 month paid internships. The companies that one can apply to are amoung the leaders in their fields.

They really focus on learning through experience, which I like because theories are very ideal, but don't necessarily prepare you for real-life situations. The school wants you to get ready to go out into the workforce and experience what it's like to apply what we learn in school into our careers.

The city and the co-op program make Drexel stand out.

the criminal justice program and atheletics. they allow me to attain my goals.

Once I reached the upperclassmen curriculum, I really enjoyed it. I felt that it was interesting and cutting edge, compared to the boring courses that all engineering majors take, such as thermodynamics and calculus. My biomaterials class had us grow cells on different biomaterials to see which material provided the best cell substrate! Talk about the opportunity to experience first-hand what you are learning about in the classroom. I felt like there was a lot of practical hands-on learning that took place at Drexel; lab exercises, independent research and top of the line technologies.

My school has a Coop/Internship program, where for 6 months of their junior year the student just goes on an internship (no classes) in their major's field. This is great for students because of not having classes, students are able to go to other places like LA, NY, or even out of the country to do their internship. Also with having the internship before senior year the student can see what they need to fix to be able to get into that career successfully.

The residence halls because they continuously engauged the students academically and socially to be better students.

Drexel is very diverse with its student body. There are many, many clubs and groups you can join. The professors are well known in their field and the research facilities are top-notch. The cooperative education program secures almost all students with jobs with jobs related to their field of study. The placement rate of post-graduation jobs is very very high! The univeristy is making a lot of improvements to make the campus better and offer more and more. The city setting is prime location for culture and socializing.

I consider the best thing about my school is the job opportunities. With having co-op and being able to work each year and learn your trade while going to school you are able to get the hands on experience of what you have chosen to do for the rest of your life. It is a great opportunity for each student to get the chance to work and learn about what they are going to school for before graduating.

The best part about Drexel, and the reason I chose to attend, is for their Co-operatiev program. The internship program allows the students to et real world experience in the work force, and make connections for future jobs upon graduation.
