Two-Year Residency Program

For over a decade, the 2-Year Residency Program (referred to as 2YRP) has enhanced the undergraduate journey and fostered students’ personal growth within the Drexel community. Living on campus can offer significant benefits, including contributing to higher academic performance and increased social engagement. The first two years are crucial for establishing a strong foundation for success at Drexel.
