Since Drexel is located in the heart of Philly, the liveliness on campus always keeps me going. The food, art, and history of Philly have always fascinated me. On campus, LeBow and W. W. Hagerty Library are a few of my favorite places to relax and study.

The opportunities at Drexel and Philly are limitless. I have been able to meet a very diverse array of students, explore interesting city attractions, participate in exciting extracurriculars, and learn a lot from my surrounding environment.

My favorite thing about Drexel is the number of opportunities all across campus and in the city. From supportive professors to interesting conferences to attend, there is always something going on and people that can help you with your professional development. I also just love the atmosphere of Philly and there is always somewhere fun to shop, eat, or explore when I'm not studying.

My favorite part about Drexel is that it is right in the middle of so much city life. A few blocks over you can see what the west Philly area is truly like as a community, and about ten blocks down you reach center city. I have access to my own community, as well as the shops and culture that my city has to offer.

What I like the most about Drexel, and Philly as a whole, is that it never gets boring. Whenever there is downtime, my friends and I are almost always at the DAC, Race Lawn, or getting something to eat around campus. Even if those things got repetitive, Philly gives you such a nice city vibe so sometimes we would venture into center city for the night.

I like how there are countless opportunities for everyone here. There is something here for everyone, whether it be an organization, a class, a major/minor, etc. Being in the city also helps because its a great environment for college students.

I love how Philadelphia is the perfect blend of opportunity, diversity, and fun. There is always something to do, to try, and to experience. The city never sleeps and it is full of ambitious and motivated individuals. I would not want to be anywhere else. Drexel University provides all of us, as students, the opportunity to learn experientially beyond a textbook or PowerPoint presentation in the playground that we call Philadelphia. That is powerful. That is Drexel. That is Philadelphia.

What I like the most about living in Philadelphia is how beautiful the city can be. Whenever I get bored I can venture into Center City and go exploring and with every turn I find a new cool little part of the city that I never knew existed. You can find murals or tiny little parks that you can escape too!

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.

The minute I stepped foot onto Drexels campus, I immediately fell in love. The atmosphere, the people, the excitement; I love all of it! The opportunities that are available at Drexel really set it apart from other colleges I was looking into and is what ultimately made me choose Drexel!

I love the creative and busy energy of the city! There's so much to do around Philadelphia, and Center City is just a subway ride away. Both Drexel and Philly attract a really diverse group of hardworking people to surround yourself with. This atmosphere inspires me to work really hard on what I'm here for and what I'm passionate about.

One of my favorite things about Drexel is that it's part of the city! There's always something to do and it's really easy to get around. Drexel's campus also has an amazing view of the Philly skyline.

I love the fast-paced environment of Philadelphia and of Drexel. With the city's liveliness and diversity, there is always something to be doing and something to be learning. There's never a day that I am bored!

Philly is such an amazing city! I love being able to walk anywhere at anytime! My favorite thing to do is find little hole-in-the-wall restaurants and coffee shops!

the busy city environment

I really enjoy the diverse urban setting about Drexel/Philly. Having lived in the city my whole life, I wanted to be at a place that reminded me of home. Drexel's location makes it ideal to have easier access to experiences and opportunities. In addition to Drexel's location, I appreciate the many diverse people I meet. Being an international student it was important that I was in a setting where I would interact and work with people from all over the world just like me.
