Great university. I was there when it was still DIT... Drexel Institute of Technology. The year I graduated we switched to Drexel University. The co-op experience was the most significant for me as it help me focus or refocus my career direction. Now I am a "Golden Dragon" ( and still kickin'). I would do it again.
I will be attending Drexel as a BS in Computer Science from next fall. As you said, the cost was what made me hesitate to commit to Drexel. But as CS is a very practical field (imo) and Co-op would give me the perfect opportunity to utilise my theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios starting from my sophomore year, I decided to invest. Hoping for the best!
Hi! This video is really helpful! I was accepted to Drexel this year but ended up at another institution this year. However now I am looking to transfer to Drexel because they offer a program that I want that my current college does not have. Do you have any advice on transferring?
Hi Jessica! Transferring is very common! I suggest looking up the Transfer Instructions and follow the application process. Please reach out to the admissions office if you ever come across questions during the process!
Thank you so much for the video! I will be attending Drexel majoring in BS Computer science. I’ve been worried recently because I’m not the best at coding and learning about computers yet, and I’ve heard Drexel is a fast paced school that runs under a 10 week term. Saying that I’m not sure if I can handle the pace with lack of skills and motivation relating to computer science and coding. I’m also thinking about minoring in something as well because in case my major isn’t right for me, I could turn my minor into a major. I’m not sure which minor I should do because I’m not sure which is the right one for me. Since I’m committing to Drexel, what are your best tips when coming to Drexel and learning my major? What is a minor that fits well with CS? Thank you!
Hello Steven! Thanks for watching! A quarter system can be an adjustment but we have tons of resources to support you if you want extra help with your coding classes. Things also take time! A great thing about the Co-op is that you get to put your coding to practice in the work place and that will help with your learning. You also don’t need to pick a minor until you get to campus so I would suggest meeting with your academic advisor when you get to school to talk more about that.
@@MaggieHo Got it, thank you so much for the advice! Update: I switched to undecided - CCI, so I am able to explore different majors within the department and see which one is better for me. However, I wasn't sure if it's the right decision since a lot of people say that it would not look good if Drexel students come in as undecided since it's a school for those who definitely know what they want to do in life. Do you think undecided is a bad decision or no? I have another question to ask: can students, no matter how motivated or intelligent they are, still be able to fit into the school and adjust to the quarter system? I will let you know if there are any more questions or comments I have!
I paid my Drexel Tution deposit and then began the regret process, I'm going to law school though. How do meal swipes work at Drexel? I saw another UA-camr say it gets credited from your fee, and you swipe for a meal?
I've only had the privilege of taking 1 law class at Drexel, and that was business law. I sincerely enjoyed that class and I hope that you will end up having a rewarding experience at Drexel. (To be honest, I regretted my deposit at first too. Lmk if you want my commitment story). Meal swipes are built into your meal plan. If you are dorming, it falls under the "room and board" fees. You get a certain amount of swipes per day/per week on your student ID card. (No extra cash/money required from you during purchase).
Hi Maggie, I have been accepted to Drexel University to Lebow Business School in Finance. I’m kinda hesitant because of what people been saying about the school and it’s location. I would not be doing COOPS even though it sounds like a great ideal. Have anyone you’ve met that’s going forward Business Finance feel the made the right choice?
Hello! Sorry for the late reply, I had a lot of friends that studied Finance at the university and are doing very well right now. What are some of your hesitations, maybe I can talk through them with you.
Yes! You have a DragonCard and that is your student ID. With the dragon card, you can get into all of your classes and your dorm. You meal swipes will also be on that card! There is an additional feature where you deposit money like a debit card and spend it at partnering food places but to be honest, many of us did not really use that feature vs. using cash or venmo.
Great video Maggie! I'm currently a senior in high school and am considering Drexel for their Music Industry program and like you said the amazing co-ops. I live in NJ and we have what's called a STARS program and I can get two years of community college for free. I was wondering if you knew anything about how easily credits transfer to Drexel from community college. I don't want to have to do a ton fo catch up work if I can avoid it and I especially want to cut the cost as much as possible. Thanks!
Hi Max! I am so happy in your interest for Drexel! This is a great question and I want to get you all the information you need. Please email me at mh3236@drexel.edu!
Drexel does have a pre-med program called the BA/BS+MD Early Assurance Program. I am leaving you a link down below for more information. I am not a health sciences student so I have not done further research on which schools are best but I did have a few friends go through the early assurance program. Most of my friends however, majored in biology or in nursing. drexel.edu/undergrad/academics/accelerated-degrees/
Hello Lukas! I I stayed in affiliated apartments my 2nd year (so apartment building that work with Drexel). my 3-4 years, I lived in "off" campus housing, bc i wanted to. So that was an apartment that was not working with Drexel but still very walkable to campus. I chose to move home during my last year to finish out my co-op and senior year bc the office was closer to home. When you are applying to Co-ops, you get to pick what city you want to work in and find jobs in that area. You do not have to relocate if that is something you're not interested in.
May I ask how much loans do you have? Maybe just give a range because I’m interested in Drexel but it’s expensive. Also what can you say about the interaction digital media degree?
Hi Mandy! Thank you for watching and supporting my channel! Unfortunately, I cannot provide a number on how much i took out for loans but I did get merit scholarship and financial aid (including loans) to support my education. It was a decision that I made and the risk that i chose to take (as my parents do not financially support my education). It is really up to every family and their comfortability with loans. You should reach out to the admissions office about the digital media degree! We have a liaison that works specifically with Westphal College of Media Arts and Design students!
This video really helped . I recently I got accepted to Drexel a few days ago. But I’m a little afraid due to me having to take out student loans 🤦🏽♂️. However they said that I would be 25,000 short freshmen year. Would that role over to the next Year our would that add on to the next 25,000 from the next year! Please help me
Thank you for watching my video! Congratulations on your acceptance! I'm not really sure regarding your situation but you should call the financial aid office! They will be able to break down your financial aid package in full detail with you!
Bentley just got renovated the last two years to become the new honors residence hall. I love both, but many students love Towers for the big bay windows. I do not know of Towers to have a pest problem.

I personally did not attend parties but I can say that life in the city was very exciting and fulfilling. There were always events to attend, things to do, and lots of students hanging out everywhere all the time.
Speaking for myself I am a below 5ft little girl and I always use to the public transit to get in/out of the city, run errands alone, and all of that. Typically, I do not travel alone off campus after it gets dark. I do however, still walk around campus sometimes unaccompanied after sun down. The school has a public safety method in place so if you call public safety, they will meet you where you are on campus and walk you back to your dorm or where ever if you do not feel safe.

Can't speak on Penn State and their resources but I had a great experience in Drexel's business school. If you're part of the Co-op program, you have opportunities to work for amazing companies like Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, SAP, or even work for small start ups and non-profits to support their finance department. If you want to speak more on the programming, feel free to email me. My contact can be found on Drexel's website.

I am going to Drexel next semester as a transfer student for finances what do u recommend me besides the financial aid package on how to pay for school?
Hello! Congratulations! Welcome to the Dragon community. For my finances, I got scholarships from the school, financial aid from the government, and a small scholarship from my high school. I took advantage of my work study job and I used my salary from Co-op to pay for what I could. I would look like financial assistance programs, scholarships offered by the school that you can still apply for (and on other websites like Scolly). Hope this helps!
Hi! Yes, I did take out loans (government loans). I bundled that with that financial aid, sorry for not making that clear! I have loans with the government but not with a 3rd party like my bank or a loan company.
Hi, thanks for your video. My daughter Is considering applying in fall '22. It sounds like an amazing place, but we have heard that it can be tricky with friends leaving for internships and co-ops at different times. Was that an issue for you or anyone you know at all? Thanks!
Hi Kristen! Thank you for your comment and your family's interest in the university! From my personal experience, I I saw it as part of life but a good thing to remember is that your daughter might end up in the same companies for her Co-ops and or meet other Drexel students on the job. Most students will always be on and off campus and you're constantly meeting new people. It really is up to the student, their friend group, and commitment to the friendship to make it work, just like life which is kinda cool!
Yes! They can Co-op! There might be some paperwork involved (like student visas and special contracts) but you can do Co-ops! (it is more of a concern when you graduate and want to stay in the States because they will have to sponsor you.) Hope this helps!
Hi Lara! I lived in VanR my freshman year and I loved my experience! I have a video about it on this channel so if you want to see the inside of VanR, please consider checking out that video! It is the first video in the Drexel playlist!
I lived in Race and really liked it! I seriously lucked out with roommates overall, and liked the relative privacy it provided compared to traditional dorms, especially as far as bathrooms/showers are concerned.
If you are interested in doing a co-op or 3 co-ops you would need to declare that as part of your plan of study (when you're applying). If you applied for 4 years no co-op but have changed your mind, you can email Drexel and ask them to change your plan of study. When you get to Drexel, your freshman year will not have Co-ops but they will have Co-op prep classes for you on how to use the Co-op portal and get jobs!
Great university. I was there when it was still DIT... Drexel Institute of Technology. The year I graduated we switched to Drexel University. The co-op experience was the most significant for me as it help me focus or refocus my career direction. Now I am a "Golden Dragon" ( and still kickin'). I would do it again.
Can u explain the co-op program?
I will be attending Drexel as a BS in Computer Science from next fall. As you said, the cost was what made me hesitate to commit to Drexel. But as CS is a very practical field (imo) and Co-op would give me the perfect opportunity to utilise my theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios starting from my sophomore year, I decided to invest.

what are the parties like ? Before covid, was there a lot and were they good ?
I personally did not attend parties but I can say that life in the city was very exciting and fulfilling. There were always events to attend, things to do, and lots of students hanging out everywhere all the time.
Do you feel relatively safe going into the city to do errands? Do you usually go by yourself or with someone?
Speaking for myself I am a below 5ft little girl and I always use to the public transit to get in/out of the city, run errands alone, and all of that. Typically, I do not travel alone off campus after it gets dark. I do however, still walk around campus sometimes unaccompanied after sun down.

I would say it's a medium sized school! It takes a bit of time to adjust to all the walking if you don't do it often but its not overwhelmingly large!
Do Drexel have good scholarships for Masters in Data Science?
Hello! I am unsure if there are scholarships specific to major but we do automatically review students for merit-based scholarship when you apply!
ALL YEAR ROUND?
Hi yes! But it really isn't that bad! If you want to talk more about it, please feel free to reach out!
@@MaggieHo Hi, I just enrolled to Drexel but am still very scared about missing summers at home with friends, what are your thoughts?
Which dorm did you live in freshman year? I'm trying to decide but there's so many options
Hi Lara! I lived in VanR my freshman year and I loved my experience! I have a video about it on this channel so if you want to see the inside of VanR, please consider checking out that video! It is the first video in the Drexel playlist!
Kelly Hall Hands down
I lived in Race and really liked it! I seriously lucked out with roommates overall, and liked the relative privacy it provided compared to traditional dorms, especially as far as bathrooms/showers are concerned.
does drexel have good sound engineering majors
Hello! I am not entirely sure but I think that would fall into Music Industry, drexel.edu/westphal/academics/undergraduate/MIP/

How do I do co op?
If you are interested in doing a co-op or 3 co-ops you would need to declare that as part of your plan of study (when you're applying). If you applied for 4 years no co-op but have changed your mind, you can email Drexel and ask them to change your plan of study. When you get to Drexel, your freshman year will not have Co-ops but they will have Co-op prep classes for you on how to use the Co-op portal and get jobs!
