The Working Man's School -- Drexel

Some people are of the school of thought you go to college to get a job, and yes I agree with that.  But that's not the ONLY reason you go to college -- you go to grow, meet people different than yourself, have amazing experiences that you might not have the opportunity again to have in your lifetime.  That being said, here's our take on Drexel...  School, school, school, work, work, work -- no, no, no.  That's what you do when you go to Drexel.  Who wants to go to college to work 6 months out of the year and go to school every summer?  Apparently 10,318 kids, that's who.  Our tour guide spent six months building a bridge (and my friend T.R. said, "but that's awesome -- he's building a F*%$&ing bridge!) -- and living by himself in NYC working 9-5 for his 6 month co-op -- maybe that's awesome for some, but not for all.  That tour was PACKED (the fact that it was Good Friday might've had something to do with that as well), and, by Austin's observations, with no cute girls.  After sitting in on the hour information session (which was really interesting), we opted NOT to go on the tour.  That was the first time we did that in all of the schools we saw.  If you are going to college solely for the purpose of getting a job, then this is the place for you.  And I think this is a fabulous opportunity for graduate school, but if you want that tight-knit campus feel with lots of spirit and fun, stay far away from Drexel!  I read in some of the college tour guides that the Drexel kids and the PENN kids are like one big happy family, co-existing next to each other in harmony.  WRONG!   There is ONE good thing about Drexel -- it's in Philly (my second new most favorite city)!!
