Drexel University
- Off-Campus Housing

Varies

There is a wide variety of off-campus housing options around Drexel University. The places that are closest to school are very expensive and not necessarily the nicest places since college kids have lived in them over the decades. As you get further away from campus, places become cheaper, but you are also living amongst Philadelphia residents which may or may not be comfortable for you.

Not Much Useful Information Provided

Pros:

Abundance. There are indeed quite a lot of off-housing offers to choose from.

Cons:

However, these choices are not always easy. Housing is available only if you can afford high rental costs.

There are also far more apartments than studios for rent, which is very inconvenient for those who prefer living on their own.

The safety issue is a heated one. The farther your residental buidling is away from the campus, the more dangerous it is to commute by yourself from your apartment/studio to your school and vice versa, especially at nights. None of my friends who are now living off-campus wants to go out alone after 7:PM.

Drexel Off-Campus Housing

Overall, housing is pricier than most parts of Philly for quality less than par. #1 rule is to know your landloard and research them. They will be your worse nightmare or best friend. Research the building for reviews and if things come back negative, listen to that advice. The choices, however, are immense and if price isn't a worry - The Hub and places similar cater directly to students with awesome gyms, tanning booths, study lounges, and modern apartments within their buildings.
