Check out Drexel University

Home of the mascot "Mario the Magnificent" dragon, blue & gold Drexel University is an excellent private research university in the City Of Brotherly Love. Philadelphia, baby! This place has a lot going for it, like the cool goggles everyone seems to wear...see for yourself on their nifty homepage. It's all Science, Industry, and Art. You can get involved with programs that give you real-life (and paid!) work experience as you finish your degree in Engineering, Business, Art, or what-have-you. In 2011, the U.S. News & World Report's "Up & Coming Universities" list has Drexel right up there at #6, which is pretty impressive considering the competition! U Penn ain't the only game in town, folks. You might seriously want to think about getting your education here at 'DU', especially if you’re already a Philly lover.

The Housing Situation: Philly!

The first thing you should know when you're looking for an apartment rental around Drexel University is that the actual campus is located in North Philly near the Wissahickon Valley Park. Think of this entire city as your oyster...that rings true since only 35% of undergrads tend to live in provided on-campus housing. You can learn about apartment hunting using our apartment guide. There are condo-style properties, cozy little apartments in little buildings, or apartments in big complexes, and some of these are located more towards the city outskirts like Upper Darby. Look around at all that's offered, and suit yourself! You can also learn more about college life using our handy blog articles.

Getting Around And Recreation

Biking is a great way to get around; it's eco-friendly, good for your health, and you can do it most of the year in Philadelphia. There are also friendly SEPTA public transit buses and subway in Philly—there are actually two (count 'em: TWO) subway entrances just two blocks outside campus, from different sides. Philly is known for its nightlife, importance in American history, and stellar museums. How about a little carousing, hey, you're in college! The Liberty Bell can wait. Browse College Prowler’s useful nightlife info page to get a run-down of the hip bars that Drexel students are most likely to visit. Yep. You will probably never run out of cool bars, music venues, and clubs to check out in this sophisticated, totally dynamic city. They say there are even some interesting microbreweries once you venture out into the Philadelphia suburbs, if you're feeling adventurous...Manayunk is probably the closest to campus.
