<p>any opinions.. thanx</p>
<p>Interesting two schools, they seem very different. As someone living about an hour north of Drexel, it has an OK reputation in this area, though it gets a wide range of students; anywhere from below the middle of their class to top 10 seem to send in applications. I personally think it has an ugly campus. Can’t tell you much about CSU</p>
<p>well… live in colorado and was accepted to both schools. Drexel is like 50-60k and colorado state is like 35k …for chemical engineering… I have a brother at PITT for bio engineering 1st yr and he is getting all kinds of internship offers from companies out there for the summer…It just seems colorado doesnt have that infrastructure of good companies to work at/ intern with…I mean the east coast or the west coast or tx area seems to just be a better area to go to school for engineering because of proximity to the industry’s related to this field.</p>
<p>Sure… going to CSU would be easy and close to home( less then 2 hrs away)…but it just seems a so-so college…one step up from a community college…easy to get into and nothing special…</p>
<p>I just don’t see how Drexel is worth $20k or so more than CSU.</p>

<p>Drexel is viewed similarly around here. They have a 75% acceptance rate, pretty easy to get into and nothing that special. The only great thing about it is the Co-op program. Also, did you get aid from Drexel? They seem to gie it to just about everyone</p>
<p>CSU is in a nice college town. There are good micro-brewerys, you’re an hour to Broncos and Avalanche games and Rocky Mountain National Park. I simply love Fort Collins. I grew up in Philly and love that town, but if you’re at all into the outdoors, hiking, fishing, hunting, sunbathing, whitewater rafting, nude beaches, 300 days of sunshine, go to CSU. One chemical engineering school is like another; it’s what you learn there, the internships you get, etc., that are going to make people want to hire you. If you have any interest in extraction industries, Colorado is a great place to be a ChemE, but you can find a job in ChemE almost anywhere in the world. Colorado’s economy continues to diversify. There is about zero reason to choose Drexel over CSU. Well, there is the cheesesteak, but that’s about it. And the soft pretzel.</p>
