<p>I am interested in Drexel. I like that it's right in the city and it just seems like a good fit. However, on CC I have read many comments about people's general dislike of Drexel. Is there something I don't know about?</p>
<p>i really like drexel...i'm going there too as a freshman. i like, fell in love with the campus, i feel really safe and comfortable there too. i think it just has a bad rep bcuz of the area it's in. at my orientation me and some friends walked off campus and i'll admit i'm not used to the city so it was a little freaky but besides that it's fine. also, people talk about the food like its sh**ty but they visited in the summer, where there aren't alot of food options available, so things will start getting better in the fall when there are more students there.</p>
<p>what is it about the area that is so bad?</p>
<p>i went to drexel for the first semester for the last fall and im telling u i LOVED it! i lived in Calhoun, and everyone I met there was wonderful and fun~
but the thing that drexel has bad rep is bcuz.. honestly. i do not want any harm from anyone but other than engineering drexel is not well known for most of the other stuff. and plus.. i think ppl dont like drexel bcuz its right next to penn and as u know penn and drexel.... .HUGE difference.
but dont worry~ i think u will love drexel as much as i loved it.. </p>
<p>good things about drexel:
in the city.. cute campus(small), co op </p>
<p>bad things:
pricy.. over priced..<br>
dangerous.. since its philly (out of campus)
other than Kelly hall and Race hall... avoid... calhoun.. !!
kelly hall is the best..
food was good too.. </p>
