What kind of "thing" would you need to come up with to live in North Hall? And if you do get into there they pay for room and board?

[FranceHopper]

@TeamKilIer First off, North is Upperclassmen only, so no Freshmen groups. In regards to FSBS groups, it can be just about anything (ie: a cooking group, video game group, anime/manga group, cycling group, etc.) As for what gets paid for, your group submits what you want to do and then Drexel gives you a budget for the year. Room and board is NOT covered.

what's the freshman housing situation?

[FranceHopper]

@Meredithpm13 In regards to? You can pretty much expect to be living in a two-person, traditional style room.

i really want to see the inside of myers =[ it's not upperclassman housing is it?

[FranceHopper]

@beebeewhyoh No, Myers is Freshman housing. Home to most Learning Communities.

just found out i was accepted, but idk if im digging the large city scene

@thenobs123 the co-op largely depends on your major and how you present yourself in the interviews.. my co-op experience hasn't been that good..given that I'm an int'l student..majoring in int'l affairs (most jobs require US citizenship)..so I'm a double major now..my first one was for the department of finance of the city..currently, I'm working in Greece...the int'l experience is super awesome though! + yes, the cost is unreasonably high...if it were up to me, I'd spark a riot!

[thenobs123]

@argeniterr thanks for the response. also how good are the co-ops (if you did them)? im really skeptical about paying over 35 gs a year if i dont even end up getting a job at the end, especially compared to colorado state schools that i could go to for like 10 a year.

[argeniterr]

@thenobs123 they're not particularly strict though they insist on certain things..as long as you don't trash things around..or turn out totally belligerent..and hide the smell and the bottles..they really don't care..if you get caught though..they give you a strike..three strikes and youre out...but when I was a freshman..I got trashed almost everyday and walked at sun rise to the dorm..the security guard did nothing....

[thenobs123]

Hi, how strict are they with alcohol?

When you first arrived at Drexel did u feel the campus size was overwhelming? or was it easy to adjust to?

[TeamKilIer]

@FranceHopper Alright, thanks. I got a little ahead of myself with the room and board stuff.
