Dislikes

Campus Life
- Everything is really well and easily accesible at the campus and there are a lot of clubt to network
Accommodation

Likes
- I Like the environment around the campus, one most thing I enjoyed was quarter system, Diversity of Drexel, Drexel Univeristy provide alot of scholarships program which students can apply and get one of them, Different association which new students can participate and meet their co-students and make network.
- I was the part of one of their organization (IGSA).
Dislikes
- I will not say that i dislike anything about Drexel, because I enjoyed my 2 years of journey their and i cherish every moment. One I felt was selecting people in any organization should handle by advisor of the association not the students. That way you can create good team to organize events.
Campus Life
- University City Campus: The main and largest campus, located in the University City district of West Philadelphia.
- Center City Campus: Situated in downtown Philadelphia, this campus is home to the College of Medicine and other health-related programs.
- Queen Lane Campus: Located in the East Falls neighborhood, it houses first- and second-year medical students.
- Academy of Natural Sciences: An affiliate of Drexel, this is America's oldest natural history museum, focusing on biodiversity and environmental research.
Accommodation
- 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 course curriculum is interesting.
- Course has right blend of theory and practical stuff.
- The professors are highly talented and helpful.
Dislikes
- Campus life is not that great, saince the university is scattered in the city.
- The course during the initial quarters is not that great, as it focuses more on the history of games and digital media.
- At times, the course felt it had unnecessary filler subjects.
Campus Life
- 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.
Accommodation
- 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.
Likes
- I like the CO-OP opportunity at Drexel University. It will give me industrial experience along with academics.
Dislikes
- I dislike the quarter pattern in my university. It makes my studies hectic. I literally have exams every month!
Campus Life
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.
Accommodation
I stay in an off-campus accommodation in an apartment. It is a furnished 3BHK apartment. I have a separate room and I pay $633 as my rent plus the utilities ( gas and electricity).
Likes
- The campus is located in the city so you get to experience true city life while also getting a campus.
- Lot of accommodation options and also really affordable as compared to other cities.
- Lot of food options, especially international food.
Dislikes
- The academics could be better.
- It lacks community because we don't have a lot of focus on sports, so the college doesn't get a chance to come together and celebrate Drexel.
Campus Life
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.
Accommodation
Freshman Year: Dorm, $1500-$2000 per month, depending on where you stay. Shared space. Sophomore Year: $960 per month, Drexel Affiliated Housing, semi-private Junior Year: $750 On-campus Housing Senior Year: $1150, Off-campus housing
Likes
- Campus is pretty diverse and students are always onto something haha
- Faculty is helpful and good at what they do. Teaching is v important and I found it to be top tier
- Co-op program is easily the BEST in the country. I highly recommend opting for the 5 year 3 coop option
Dislikes
- I wish there were more activities outside of regular university co curriculars. Would have loved to explore more
- More social events where I could network more. Maybe I needed to sign up for more so I guess more marketing of those events?
- Post Graduation resources are a little scarce. Wish I could stay in contact more
Campus Life
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 :)
Accommodation
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.
Accommodation
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.
Accommodation
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.
Accommodation
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.
Accommodation
I've lived off campus since the start of my program and it's a little cheaper as compared to the on-campus accommodations. But I've realized that if you spend more money, you get really good housing on campus while off-campus housing has its own perks.
Good Computer Science program and the co-op program.
