Some people may not realize it, but yes, Drexel does have an athletic program—varsity sports are very limited at Drexel. We used to have a baseball team and a women’s volleyball team, but they were cut for financial reasons. We’ve never had a football team. Basketball is the only one we hear about, but chances are, most students at Drexel couldn’t tell you how the team finished last season. School spirit is not very high, and the athletic administration has been practically begging students to come to basketball games. What ends up happening is that all the other teams on campus are overlooked and forgotten. Intramurals, on the other hand, are much more popular. Students are involved in intramurals and club sports more than any other extracurricular activities. The most popular are: volleyball, basketball, and lacrosse.
Drexel has decent facilities, as it only has one gym. The gym facilities include basketball, squash, badminton, and volleyball courts, weight rooms, a swimming and diving facility, dance studios, and the Independence Blue Cross Wellness Center. But Drexel does offer a beach volleyball court, a multi-purpose turf field, and over 15 acres of athletic fields. So, in the end, Drexel is not exactly starving for places for students to be athletically active.
