What's the vibe like on Drexel University's campus?

I'm considering applying to Drexel University and I'm curious about what the campus is like. Is it lively, or more laid-back? How's the student life there? I'd love to hear from anyone who's visited or currently attends.

Drexel University's campus could best be described as energetic and constantly on the move. The university is located in Philadelphia, which means there's a vibrant mix of city life integrated into the campus culture. This urban setting contributes a more lively, active ambiance.

Most students enrolled at Drexel partake in a unique program called co-op that allows them to gain work experience in their intended fields of study while they are still in school. Because the co-ops take place in real working environments, you can expect the campus to undergo regular cycles of ebb and flow as students go out on co-op and return.

The vitality of Drexel's campus extends beyond academics. The school hosts a variety of extracurricular activities, from hundreds of student groups to sporting events and cultural activities providing each student an opportunity to find their niche. You wouldn't be far off seeing the occasional group project meeting at a local café or study groups in the library late into the night.

The campus itself is modern, with plenty of facilities to support the university's strong emphasis on technological innovation. Its location within Philadelphia provides easy access to students to explore the city's culture, history, and nightlife. Food trucks are a popular mainstay on campus, so there's always something tasty and new to try.

Please remember, while descriptions help paint a picture, nothing beats a first-hand experience. If possible, consider visiting the campus to get a personal feel of the atmosphere and meet students personally: https://drexel.edu/admissions/visit-tours. In-person visits will give you a great chance to check out campus and ask questions of your tour guide, but there are also multiple virtual options available if you can't make it out to Philadelphia.
