I love the vast majority of things that you can do in Philly. There are so many different restaurants, activities, and events that you can go to/participate in! Drexel in particular has so many opportunities, especially Lebow College of Business, whether it be through clubs, programs, events, or even classes. I just find that there is always something to do in Philly or around campus and it makes it really exciting and vibrant to live here!

I love how integrated Drexel is with the city, without giving up its campus feel. I clearly know when I am on campus but can easily get wherever I want to go in the Philadelphia area thanks to transit. I have always been a die-hard Philly sports fan and living in the city has only allowed that passion to flourish even more.

The proximity, and diversity in Philly/Drexel.

My favorite thing about Philadelphia is the ability to access so much. Coming from a smaller town, it is refreshing and fun to be able to simply get on the SEPTA to go to restaurants, stores, landmarks, and more. There is so much to do in the city and you can always find something to explore and keep you busy.

What I like about Drexel is that it is located in the city of Philly that is similar to New York City but more calm. The city and Drexel allow me to meet new people from all around the world.

I love being in the city! I like to walk around and find new places to eat. I also love to explore and go out as the city offers a variety of options to see. Being in Philly offers endless amounts of opportunities, allowing for growth as an individual!

My favorite part of living in Philly is the community of college students within University City. For instance, since neither of my roommates are from Drexel, I feel like I really get the experience of three different schools while being only enrolled in one which is absolutely amazing!

My favorite thing about Philly is going to Phillies games and being at Drexel makes it easy because we're so close to the stadium.

My favorite thing about Drexel is people! Everyone - students, faculty and staff - inspire me and there is just something about chatting with friends or asking your professors for advice. You can learn so much from people from different backgrounds and fields of study! Truly fascinating! Networking is very important and Drexel provides you with a huge number of GREAT events to network and expand your horizons!

I love Rittenhouse Square because it is the perfect hangout spot, and there are so many great shops and restaurants in the area!

What I love the most about Philly is the convenience of the city! There's so much to do from going to the Reading Terminal market to Chinatown- and the best part is that everything is one subway ride away.

One of the things I like the most about Drexel is how diverse and engaged its community is. On top of that, everyone that I interacted with was very nice. It was easy for me to find myself included ever since the first day I came here and I've always felt like the people around me genuinely wanted me to succeed and did their best to help me when I needed them. One of the things that I like the most about Philadelphia is how historical yet futuristic it is. One second you find yourself walking around the Old Town and seeing the Independence Hall, the other you find yourself looking up at the numerous skyscrapers in Center City. It's a vibrant city and there's always something to do or something to see. You gotta love Philly, it's impossible not to!

One of the things I value most about the city of Philadelphia is its rich culture & history. You will always be able to explore unique food & entertainment options wherever you may find yourself. There truly is something for everyone & really trying to branch out to try new things will definitely serve you well. Some of my favorites are visiting Reading Terminal, Old City, or catching a Philly sports game! Philadelphia, & more specifically Drexel University, offers its students so many opportunities, so keeping an open mind & spontaneous attitude is my #1 piece of advice!
