Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The Athletic Center has extensive facilities—there is a nice pool, a sophisticated weight room, and well-maintained basketball and squash courts. You can tell that some of the buildings desperately need some renovations and haven’t been kept up. Nevertheless, the DAC is a great place to work out, take a dip, or engage in some friendly competition on the court. It would be nice to have some more natural outdoor field space for sports, however. The Creese Center offers a lot, but delivers little. There really is nothing there but a few comfy chairs and some overpriced food. It’s a good place to talk, but a bad place to study, as it’s normally very busy and loud. The fireplace is nice in the winter, though. Downstairs in the Greenwalt Student Center, there are conference rooms and offices for Drexel student organizations. This area is not very aesthetically pleasing, but it is kept clean—except for the computer rooms, which have never worked. The game room down there is fun, with its pool tables and Xbox 360 tournaments. The Commuter Lounge at the opposite end, however, is simply a large, expensive television room with a bunch of cheap tables and chairs.

Ross Commons is fairly new and is fairly chic. This is a good place to hang out, as it’s good looking, spacious, offers good food, but is still rather “sleepy.” The rest of the buildings are not very good-looking inside or out, and the campus itself leaves something to be desired in the way of appearance. Although devoid of spirit (except in the spring), both the buildings and campus are well maintained.

Diversed Campus

The campus is full of many diverse groups of people. One can always find a group and fit in easily. Drexel is continuously improving its buildings throughout the campus. It has many accessible facilities right on campus. There’s a gym which offers wide range of exercising activities. It has many food trucks throughout the campus which offer diverse selection of food choices- from Arabic to Chinese food.

Improving

Some of the older facilities are rather worn-down, but older building are being torn-down and newer facilities put in place. The newer facilities are state-of-the-art, such as the Papadakis Science Builing. The athletic center is amazing, and I would say the library has everything needed for research.

Some Good Facilities and Some Bad Facilities

Drexel has some good facilities like the new Papadakis Science building. It is state-of-the-art, and it has a really nice biowall in its big atrium. But, building like Disque and Stratton are very run down and are in needs of renovations/replacement. Like Matheson got torn down this year because it was run down, and it's going to be replaced with a tall state-of-the-art business building. Overall, I enjoy the facilities at Drexel.
