Summer Fridays in Philly
Are you planning a visit to Drexel's campus this summer? Make a weekend out of it and join us for a Summer Friday in Philly!
Summer in the city of Philadelphia is invigorating. There's always something fun to do, from exploring historic sites to checking out our museums to grabbing a bite to eat in Chinatown.
Taking place on Fridays throughout the months of June and July, our Summer Fridays in Philly are where you can get a taste of Philly's summer and tour our campus facilities, with the added perks of discounted lunch and dipping your feet in Drexel's academic experiences. 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 cold beverage or explore our diverse neighborhoods while taking in the historical sites all over Philadelphia, the birthplace of the United States.

- 10 a.m. – Drexel information session
- 10:45 a.m. – Window into academic experiences with current students
- 12 p.m. – Lunch in Drexel's Urban Eatery
