Good campus with friendly people.

Tips: Drexel as a university has a mix of academic rigour and a more practical experience which ultimately benefits in the workplace scenario. By studying here, I have learnt the need to stay organised and manage my time well as even a slight misbalance can lead to a lot of stress. There are lots of Indian food options available but it might be costly to eat out most of the days so cooking can be the best alternative. The faculty is very helpful, friendly and supportive and you can reach out to them in case of any problem. Everything else has been good so far.

Learning a lot with supportive and understanding faculty.

Tips: Studying at Drexel is truly very unique experience among the usual college experience in the United States. But the co-op programme is something you should really look into as this will make you realise the true potential of networking in an experiential learning setting and how far it can go. There are lots of job opportunities so start looking for them during your last semester. Do participate in clubs, seminars, activities and events. Overall, I had a good experience.

MS in Machine Learning Engineering - Batch of 2024

Offered by Drexel University

3.3

Easy transition to the new environment.

Tips: Overall satisfaction (for MS in MLE): 4/5 I have a partial scholarship. Drexel has many international students, and this helped me transition easier to the new environment. I met some of my friends by being a part of Drexel's clubs like SWE and WiCS.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members are usually approachable, and willing to help students. Drexel follows a quarter system, and the College of Engineering is quite research-oriented. The classes have a good mix of theoretical and project-based activities. Most of my professors are American, but I've had professors from other countries occasionally.

Dislikes (Safety): Drexel University campus is located near the Powelton area and West Philly, which is not the safest area in Philly. There have been cases of armed robbery near Drexel's campus, and I do not feel completely safe to walk by myself at night in the Powelton and Mantua neighborhoods.

Very multidimensional place.

Tips: My time so far has been rewarding as I have learned a lot and gained a lot of opportunities for my own development. My professors are very knowledgeable and you can gain a lot of insight from them. Philadelphia is a lovely city with lots of food options available. Public transportation is very convenient, affordable and easy to use so you can explore the city on a budget. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my course, college and the country.

MS in Data Science - Batch of 2025

Offered by Drexel University

3.3

Everything is good except for its tuition fees which is a lot compared to other universities.

Tips: I came to Drexel University directly, and there is a shift in culture which obviously different from my country India. I got dean assistantship and there is no other scholarship in CCI for Computer Science, Data Science, Information Science. You can apply for external scholarships.

Likes (Public transportation): There are university buses, public transport which is very handy to travel place to place. It is not totally connected to the city, but it is only 10-15 mins away which we can go by public or Drexel transportation. There are buses, trails, trains, cab.

Dislikes (Part time work): On-Campus jobs at Drexel university are very limited like only a max of 10 out of 100 people and off-campus is not so safe as Philadelphia is the top city in crime. If you get a part time, it is very easy to manage with academics. Average pay-out for on-campus placements will be around 13$.
