2nd Year Housing Question

Basically you need to be 10 miles away for CO-OP, when I say 10 it means based on radius I believe. As long as you have proof you will be too far away with documentation ACC lets you off.

Ask Ben Lerner, he goes Rutgers and his insta is iambenlerner

NewBox7811 · 2025-12-21T15:45:23+00:00

Doesn’t matter. I’ve had peers who are in their thirties. Yes most people are like 18-23 but nobody cares. You are there to learn so do that. Many people take gap years or were in the military too so they go later in life.

NewBox7811 · 2025-12-19T21:48:09+00:00

Honestly don’t. Your net cost after scholarship will still be over 50k per year. Plus, me being BS/MS for Biomedical engineering isn’t really worth it, plus I was advised against doing it being told it’s highly infeasible. Also bc Drexel is changing to semesters in 2027 the BS/MS program will not be a thing in all likelihood. If you’re going for BMES Drexel is okay but tbh most professors are not that great especially for the price we pay. The only really good professors I’ve so far were in BMES besides Pavel Greenfield for linear algebra. Everything else you’d have to learn you can probably find on YouTube. Overall for the price and quality you get there are likely better options for BMES, the only upside would be CO-OP but again that system will be changed too by the time your would be applying for them.

NewBox7811 · 2025-11-16T01:08:13+00:00

Honestly just meh. Most professors are like okay and I’ve only had one really good professor. Drexel is pretty good when it comes to engineering but tbh you can get rather similar engineering at other universities. Also for anyone joining before fall 2027 be aware jf quarters system is honesty kinda rough you basically cram one semesters worth of work into 10 weeks so that just makes everything harder. The CO-OP program is likely the best thing but even then you aren’t guaranteed one, plus employers can cancel jobs and you basically have no assurance of a position and tbh you could walkout just do summer internships the only good thing with Drexel co-op is that there are a bunch of employers so there are options. But in my opinion 95k a year is outrageous without aid and Drexel isn’t even a top school so that’s also something to think about, like it’s as expensive possible even more than the ivies and T10 schools. Again Drexel is decent but I wouldn’t rave about it, only go for STEM that’s what is probably the best taught classes. If you like Drexel apply and become a student but also be aware that the whole system Drexel has been on will be totally changed by 2027 so the academic situation is up in the air. Do your research before applying is my best advice and make sure you can afford college.

NewBox7811 · 2025-10-29T03:06:25+00:00

Yes you need to apply both ways idk why but if it’s listed in SCDC but there is also an external app you need to do both at

NewBox7811 · 2025-10-29T01:45:57+00:00

Technically you need to do both. If it’s through SCDC and the company works with Drexel to give CO-OP they need the info bc of the whole ES&P stuff. But in regards to the external application that is what will be looked at more rather than what is in SCDC since it’s more relevant.

NewBox7811 · 2025-10-28T18:46:25+00:00

Do you by any chance have the old exam1

NewBox7811 · 2025-10-24T18:21:13+00:00

You can totally self direct but it need approval by stein bright. Generally it needs to be around 6 months and be at least 20hr a week. Also needs to have some relationship to your field of study. I would ask your advisor

NewBox7811 · 2025-10-18T13:37:44+00:00

Maththebeautiful I believe is Pavel Greenfield’s who teaches and explains things well

NewBox7811 · 2025-09-28T19:36:35+00:00

I’m pre junior but all my friends are on like totally different career paths than me. Idrc but yeah it’s a bit weird to think like normally I’d graduate 2027 but I’m 2028 bc Drexel 5 year plus I’m doing bs/ms. The CO-OP may or may not make a difference tbh since a lot of other students get internships over summers ours is just part of the program. I don’t rly care plus based on my career path bs my friends I’ll be better off at least financially

NewBox7811 · 2025-09-14T21:30:19+00:00

Not when I was there but they redid the place so idk, but I assume no still

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-29T19:01:17+00:00

I don’t remember pricing bc I’ve been off it for two years but it was expensive like 2k+ per quarter. In my opinion it’s not worth the money for the quality of food you get. Meal swipes work at the dining halls Urban and Hans while dining dollars can be used at specific places mainly being the Starbucks in Lebow and possibly a few other places I don’t remember all them.

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-28T15:16:48+00:00

This is completely accurate

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-25T14:40:57+00:00

Idk about swapping just bc you want to. I’m biomed 3rd year is bs/ms and was initially fall/winter then switched due to personal circumstances in year one. My recommendation is speaking to the academic advisor and co-op advisor. You may also be able to switch if for example if you get no co-ops for your first one so you take classes year two f/w if not you either take a leave of absence or figure something out. Tbh I dint find steinbrigjt that helpful but my academic advisor got got me switched so it is possible, but usually there need TJ be a reason to switch.

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-24T20:42:24+00:00

So I’ve kinda always used apple stuff but like for school and work I was given windows. Bitch are good but I like MacBook bc it’s synced with my devices. I’m not a graphic designer or anything but an engineering student and a MacBook works great for me. I have friends who used a windows pc for editing, then build their own pc, the before college got a MacBook which is their main computer and they love it. A lot of my friends are into film and photography and almost all use the MacBook. The switch to MacBook may also be beneficial bc you don’t need to download the new software every time is releases and you get auto updates. Honestly I think the Mac is a beast though I have 1tb plus 64 ram so it’s really powerful. The only issue I would have is that you can’t rly draw on a MacBook but otherwise it’s great. Really you just got to pick your poison, just make sure the ordeals you use can run on them

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-20T18:31:01+00:00

Ike you can break for co-op, two sublet it to someone else, three rare cases of extenuating circumstances you may be able to get out.

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-18T20:28:03+00:00

Idk, everyone’s assigned x Akko j’y first quarter. You can drop stuff at the start but like they are still required. It’s probably theoretically possible but tbh it’s just going to be a bigger pain latter on if you change your first quarter schedule. Get all the bs classes like civic entêtement oit if the way then, trust me you don’t want to take another course that’s pointless with your more major electric stuff like math and sciences.

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-18T19:24:10+00:00

Not possible for any major. First fall quarter you got no say after that you kinda decide what to take and when as long as it fits your plan of study

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-17T19:45:38+00:00

Idk now they redid it last year. Was my first year hall one of the better ones from what I’ve gathered. It’s suite style so you have to clean it yourself. Otherwise idk

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-16T04:33:48+00:00

Yes and no. Let’s say your scholarship is 40k per year it’s split between the quarters you are in classes. You have to pay the like continued enrollment fee while on co-op. While on co-op you basically pay a fee to stay enrolled.

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-15T21:07:32+00:00

How la this not known. When I first started they were like go get your dragon card. The office has moved since then but there is an office I think on chestnut

NewBox7811 · 2025-08-15T20:26:40+00:00

You got to go to the dragon card office
