Peer Leaders

I think the most intriguing part of Drexel is the wide accessibility to support systems that students are provided with. Whether it be related to school work or outside of the classroom, Drexel can provide you with information to get the help you need.

My favorite thing about Drexel has to be the community. Everyone here is so supportive of each other's goals and ambitions both professional and personal. My favorite thing about Philadelphia is the diversity and the life of the city. There are so many things to do and experience within the city. Drexel does an excellent job of integrating itself into the city while still keeping a tight-knit community feeling.

There are so many fun and exciting places to visit around the city from cool thrift shops to incredible art museums or exhibitions. The best part about being on campus is feeling like you are truly a part of the Drexel community, a feeling I get every time I study in the Rush courtyard or watch a volleyball game at the sand pits. You also have got to love all the amazing food trucks around campus and the conveniently located Insomnia Cookies!

My favorite thing about Drexel and Philly is all of the amazing opportunities LeBow students have both academically and socially! LeBow offers so many events to network with fellow students and employers while also creating long-lasting memories.

My favorite things about Drexel and Philadelphia are both the same: I like the fact that there is so much choice and customization within each entity. As for Drexel, you can create so many different paths in terms of field of study, number of years / co-ops, and the tons of clubs that there are to explore and become a part of. As for the city (and suburbs of Philly), I like that there is so much variability depending on where you go. I grew up a little ways north of the city in Bucks County, PA, and it is probably one of my favorite places around just because of the cute and quaint little towns, the covered bridges, and the nice people that you meet around the area. It's also a great area that supports two of my favorite passions: cars and music!

I love to walk around the city! I'm always finding new places to eat and different spots to view the skyline.
