To all Fulbrighters who will join us this summer, welcome! We are very much looking forward to having you join us in Philadelphia as your introduction to graduate studies in the U.S. This will be the English Language Center’s 16th year hosting this program, and we’re proud to be the first step in what will be one of the most important experiences in your life.

Getting to Drexel
Drexel's campus is easy to access from several surrounding cities and airports. Program participants will be asked to share their flight itineraries in advance so that the English Language Center (ELC) representative may meet participants arriving at the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Participants' who will meet the ELC representative at the airport will be provided with transportation to Drexel's campus at no additional cost to the participant. Philadelphia's International Airport website provides more information on ground transportation. It is also affordable to access Drexel's campus through popular ride share apps. Be sure to have your housing address readily available to provide to any ground transportation service.
