You get out of Drake what you put into it. The classes really aren't too difficult, you just have to study quite a bit for some of them. It is really easy to take classes you are interested in, both in the general requirements or in the honors classes. If you sleep in class and don't do your homework (which some people do,) you aren't going to learn as much as someone who pays attention and goes into office hours. I have learned a lot about different cultures here at Drake. There are students from all over the world in every class and so you can learn outside of the classroom too! read full review
