Fall Fridays in Philly

Fall in the city of Philadelphia is inspiring — the crisp autumn air and radiant leaves showcasing our city's timeless beauty. There's always something fun to do in Philly. However, this season has a particular excitement with over 340,000 college students living in Philadelphia and there is a pulse of energy through the city when the students return. 

Occurring every Friday throughout the month of October, our Fall Fridays in Philly are where you can get a taste of Philly's fall and tour our campus facilities, with the added perks of lunch on us, dipping your feet in Drexel's academic experiences, and exploring our student support services like a Drexel Dragon. Plus, you'll have plenty of chances to meet with current Drexel students and campus representatives during your time here. After your day with us, you're encouraged to continue exploring what we call our extended campus — the great city of Philadelphia! Stop by a local café and enjoy your favorite warm beverage or explore our diverse neighborhoods while taking in the historical sites all over Philadelphia, the birthplace of the United States.

At our Fall Fridays in Philly, you'll get:

• 10 a.m. – A Drexel information session and campus tour (including a residence hall tour)
• 12 p.m. – Lunch in Drexel's Handschumacher dining hall
• 1 p.m. – A window into Drexel's academic experiences
