What do you like best about Philadelphia: 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!
