[quote=Anonymous]My DD goes to Drexel.
She is a recruited athlete so that make make our experience a bit different.
She loves it. Her dorm is right on the edge of the train tracks-there’s nothing between her dorm and the river and center city.  Also that part of west philly “university city” is undergoing such a building boom and gentrification.  Thanks to the influence of Penn.
The two campuses are knit together.  There’s an old stream bed that they’ve turned into pedestrian walkways.  That means that there is a pedestrian boulevard traveling through the campuses that sits off the street grid so it’s makes for a more natural feel. Locust walk and Lancaster walk is their names. 
The wasabi referenced in a previous post sits right above a subway entrance so that’s what made it so vulnerable tO shoplifters.  It has actually been turned into a pickup location(?) where you pay for everything before you have access IYKWIM.
Drexel is not the little southern sweet SLAC that I attended. It has a true university feel with a diverse student population. The school is Urban and the kids  are urbanized and there to learn.  Since DD is an athlete she has a built-in family of like minded peers.  
One of the things that bothers me is that there isn’t a local bar and that they Uber everywhere all of the time.[/quote]
