Housing
Living on campus means convenient access to everything Drexel offers and the
chance to develop lasting friendships. Drexel students live in nine Main Campus
residence halls:
- Calhoun Hall
- Caneris Hall
- Kelly Hall
- Millennium Hall
- Myers Hall
- North Hall
- Race Street Residences
- Towers Hall
- Van Rensselaer Hall
Each of the residence halls offers common recreation and study lounges, kitchens, and laundry facilities; and individual rooms are equipped to provide personal telephone service and cable television and Internet access.
The residence halls and floors organize regular events, activities, and study sessions with assistance from the professional residential staff and resident assistants living in each hall.
All of the residence halls are close to the North Side Market, the Handschumacher
Dining Center, and Ross Commons, where you can find snacks or full meals.
Learning Communities
Drexel also offers learning communities, which can enhance your academic experience
at Drexel with additional enrichment opportunities. Students choosing this
option live with students from the same college, making it easier to form
informal study groups and work on group projects.
Learning communities organize their own social and academic activities and facilitate access to important Drexel resources, including academic advising, in-hall tutoring, review sessions, and informal gatherings with faculty, deans, and department directors.
Each community is assigned to a specific area in a residence hall with a central common area. Current learning communities include:
- Arts and Sciences
- Business
- Engineering
- Information Science and Technology
- Media Arts & Design
- Pennoni Honors College
- Vanguard Scholars and Research Fellows
