Good uni but the management is a plainQuite Bright
Good uni but the management is a plain pain in the ass. Sometime I feel I'm in one of the greatest unis of america, other times i feel i'm a money milking cow with a univ id imprinted on my ass.

The kids around are cool tho. Everyone knows the tuition is a scam, but they pay nontheless and work HARD. if nothing else, drexel cultivates a culture of hard work over anything else. If you're a responsible, fun-lovin guy and give a crap about your academics, and know how to balance studies, you're good.If you're looking to get wild all night everyday, snorting fun from kim k's ta-tas, man you're gonna get kicked out in the first term.

Question
Drexel was not worth the money!Design Arts - Industrial Design/Graphic Design/etc
Drexel was not worth the money! I'm now in thousands of dollars of debt with no job prospects in my field. Co-op was listed as a job for my major (Game Design and Production), but turned out to have nothing to do with my major. The person I worked for was a fantastic person...the job just wasn't helpful for my major. I wish I had known that Drexel doesn't really help with the co-op process and you are on your own. Don't use their system!! Find your own co-op or internship which better aligns with your field.

Question
I graduated from the Westphal Game Design andQuite BrightDesign Arts - Industrial Design/Graphic Design/etc
I graduated from the Westphal Game Design and Production program. I felt like it was just project after project with no usable end result. Now, I sit with a 4 year degree and a ton of student loans and NO job prospects in this field. The co-op was completely useless. It's basically up to the student to locate the co-op. Drexel uses the co-op to draw students in, but it's not worth anything. No job prospect from that, either. The school doesn't help, nor do the professors.
