Drexel University
Founded in 1891 as the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry, Drexel University has grown to become one of the largest universities in the country. The College of Medicine and School of Law are less than ten years old, but the instititute itself is well respected.
American History 202
Philadelphia is one of the most historic cities in America as well as being in the top five most populous. Philadelphia is home to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, and national pride is strong here. If you're at Drexel for the Arts or Science programs, you'll be thrilled with the art and science museums in the city also.
Drexel Digs - Neighborhoods for Students
Drexel University is fairly close to the center of Philadelphia, but no doubt you'll need to find housing in a quieter, and less expensive area. The neighborhoods to try while still remaining close to school include Belmont, Francisville, North Central, and Yorktown.
All of these neighborhoods are considered part of Fairmount Park, one of the largest city-owned parks system on the planet. You have 63 parks as well as museums, historic mansions, sculpture gardens zoos and bike paths to check out in Fairmount Park.
On Your Feet in Philly
Philadelphia is quite a walkable city, and the area around Drexel University is representative of the general rule. With a walk score of 89 out of 100, there are plenty of grocery stores, restaurants and coffee shops all within walking distance of Drexel.
Finding Philly Housing
The city center, and slightly northwest in Fairmount Park have plenty of apartments for rent and housing options. There are plenty of nice places to be had from around $500 per month, or if you prefer to be in the City Centre, accommodation in Philadelphia is mostly around the $600-$700 per month mark.
Nightlife and Dining Out in Philadelphia
Philly is a big city, and most of the nightlife options are clustered around the center, with well-defined suburbs. The Prohibition Taproom and Silk City Diner and Lounge are some of your closest options for a break from the books.
There is certainly more than cheese spread to eat in Philadelphia! Chinatown is close by and offers some spicy, tasty treats on a break from school, but perhaps the best loved lunch arena for students is Primo Hoagies, in the Logan Square area a short walk or drive south of Drexel.
