Campus Life

• My university has only one campus, but that's the City Campus so it's significantly big.
• There is a Library which is open till evening everyday. There is also a Big sports complex in front of the Library which has a 2 storey gym, basket ball courts, Swimming Pool, Squash Rink, Running Path & Table Tennis Tables and many such things. Medical Services I have never used so far but I heard there is a student medical Centre in the campus. But what I personally like about Drexel is their Police. Drexel Police is there for 24/7 support & they constantly do patrolling and also comes wherever you are on campus if you feel scared.
• I have taken part in Orientations, there was nice food & also nice engaging activities for the students to engage with each other. Also there are many clubs that organize events for the festivals of here & our festivals as well. They provide free food, many fun activities & Good memories. I have taken parts in many of them as a Volunteer as well. Also Drexel does organize the Career Fairs for the students to direct contact the company members & can present their resumes in-person. For sports, you have a Very good & well maintained Sports Centre where you can go & present your College ID & can ask for the equipments. Also for the extracurricular activities you have many clubs & student chapters which you can take a part in as I mentioned above.

• I am living Off-Campus. I found my accommodation through my friend who was already living here.(You can use Facebook & WhatsApp groups for finding the accommodations)(Also there many Google Sites which can give you some good options if you find). I am paying 800$ per month including Utilities. 24/7 support, Gym, Indoor Games & many other things included)
• The main challenge was to gather people if you find a good 4b4b or 3b3b houses, as I was not socially connected with anyone coming to drexel. Houses are easy to find but to gather people to live in that house is what I think was difficult
• Try to live in some Serviced Appartments around & near to the campus, don't go for the cheaper & far ones atleast for the 1st year. You may figure out later where to live & with whom to live going forward in the 2nd year. My accommodation is just 15 minutes walk from my study building & just 3 Minutes walk from the Main Building. Many Indian students live a bit far from the campus compared to me. Like they are having a 30 minutes walk to the campus if they don't get the public or on-campus transport

  • Once I got an offer from Drexel, I started searching for off-campus accommodation, getting into whatsapp groups, telegram and more. From there, I found one accommodation that was near campus. Walking a distance to my department building, grocery stores nearby. Very flexible and relaxing. However, finding a safe and affordable place was challenging. So I would recommend starting to find accommodation as soon as possible and connecting with your co-students and starting to make a network.

  • The university has almost 9-10 campus buildings, excluding the library, gym, and medical centre.
  • There are very few festivals and events done during the initial quarter.
  • But there were some notable Holi, Diwali, and Bollywood events going on every year.
  • We have many clubs for different sports like Badminton, Squash, Swimming, Boxing, BasketBall.

  • People find houses from Zillow.com, Apartments.com. There are other reality groups that offer affordable housing options to students.
  • There are also WhatsApp groups for Drexel Indian students who help in finding accommodation.
  • Look fast; if you drag the time, houses fill up pretty quickly, and you will be left with an expensive one.

There are very less extracurricular activities or clubs for master's students because of the hectic schedule. Most of the clubs and extracurricular activities are for undergrad.

There are a lot of clubs on campus and you'll be introduced to most of them within the first few months of being there. The student body is very engaging, you can even start your own club like I did. There are constant events happening every single day in every single building. I am not sure about research facilities. The library is really old but feels homely and like a safe space to work out of. Our gym is the biggest in all of Philadelphia, it has two floors of gym space, a pool, a basketball court (indoor and outdoor, which is used for multiple different activities), a golf simulator, squash courts, table tennis, and more. They also let you rent out equipment so you can use all these facilities for free.

Campus life is very lively and very fun. Something or the other is always happening haha You'll find a lot of international students as well Infrastructure is pretty modern but at the same time some buildings are archaic so it's a good mix Sports facilities could be better, to be honest There were a lot of South Asian clubs so highly recommend those :)

I opted for college housing at first: Kelly Hall, and then I looked around for housing on campus at 3175 JFK. Off-campus might make it harder to commute so I suggest finding places on campus closer to classes. Meal plans might be expensive so after one year of opting for them I opted out and chose to cook my own food but if that's something you can't do, then highly suggest opting for meal plans on campus.

Living is a bit expensive in Philadelphia. If you live near campus- on-campus housing is $900-1200 per month depending upon which campus building it is. If you live off campus it varied from $350-1000. If you take 1 BHK and 3 people share it will usually cost about $350 per person. If you live in a studio alone it will be about $850. Usually, 3-bed and 3-bath apartments are preferred as they cost about $500-600 per month including all utilities This is usually exclusive of furniture.

Course Curriculum, Alumni Network. LeBow in particular has a great alumni network and the careers team here is exceptionally nice and helpful.

In the first year, we are required to live in the residential hall. In the second year, we can live in any of the affiliated buildings on campus. After the third year, we can stay wherever we want. Since we are in the city the rent is high depending on the type of apartment you get. I had an upper-class apartment with skyline views and my own room. I've lived in different places but my rent was always over $1100 not including utilities and electricity.

They're a private school, specializing in co-ops, and are among the best in the country with connections to Fortune 500 companies. Students are able to gain 2 years of experience even before graduation.

I don't live on campus. I live in Evo at Cire Center South. My rent on campus was around $950 per month and off-campus is $1,400.

I chose Drexel for the co-op program and also because I planned to transfer before I started and my counselor told me a private school would be easier to transfer from.
