Everything is within walking distance, it's so easy to get around. Since the campus is right next to the heart of Philadelphia there's always something to do at all hours of the day.

Dylan Luong
Hometown: Lancaster, PAWhat do you like best about Drexel/Philly:What I like best about Drexel and the City of Philadelphia is that it's a nice change of scenery from where I was raised. The suburbs of Lancaster, PA is very calming and tranquil versus the hustle-and-bustle of a Philly lifestyle. It's been really nice to experience both contrasts. Coming from an area where driving is an essential, I've found it very enjoyable to be able to walk anywhere I want to go in Philly. Drexel's campus is small enough where I feel like everything I would want is at my disposal. That accessibility is something that I wouldn't get otherwise back home, so that's why I've grown to love Philly so much.Favorite Band/Song: Ariana GrandeFavorite Kind of Ice Cream: Mint Chocolate Chip -
