What Students Are Saying

As mentioned in the Tips section, the 10 week quarter term is an extremely quick time to learn and be tested for an entire course, but it is manageable, and you will get used to it after your first term, I promise.
Kevin from Sewell, NJ
There is no major that doesn't get super stressed at some point in the term. As an engineering major, the hardest classes have been the sciences (Chemistry and Physics), but there are also classes that are pretty easy as long as you do the work.
Kristina from NC
Drexel is a college known for its STEM education.
Xavier from Littlestown, PA
Drexel's academic rigor is definitely tough, challenging, and fast. It'll be hard to manage at first, but you'll get into the swing of things with dedication and time.
Eliza
10 week quarters are hard to manage. There is a lot of material in a short time frame. However, the staff provide you all the information you need to succeed. If you apply yourself.
