What It's Like to Be a Transfer Student at Drexel
Here at Drexel, transfer students are encouraged to collect experiences that will help them along the path they've chosen. That includes participating in our student life organizations and activities where they'll meet new friends from around the world and find a supportive community that shares their passions. After all, no two students experience Drexel the same way.
They'll also get the benefits of Drexel's location in the heart of Philadelphia, with plenty of cultural and artistic endeavors happening around the city all year long. Plus, transfer students at Drexel are invited to take part in our unique cooperative education program, which provides our Dragons with the opportunity to gain up to 18 months of real work experience before they even graduate.
