Mind Boggling Internet Speeds
Those who lives in dorms have access to insane Internet speeds. Drexel has two 5-gigabit connections, and students are given access to these insane speeds. The wired internet has no slowdowns, and I have never experienced an outage. The only reason I give this category an A and not an A+ is because the wireless internet is flawed.
Some areas on campus have poor connections, for example the library's lowest floor. It does, however, seem to work OK in most classrooms.
Macbooks are available to borrow, and apparently there is free tech support provided whenever someone has a problem with their own computer. All of the computers that I have used on campus are fast and up-to-date.

Expensive but Decent
The dining hall has good variety and great hours, but sometimes the food isn't the freshest or best. Service is OK, and the dining environment is calm and clean. There are plenty of other dining-plan-sponsored restaurants on campus like Chick-fil-A and Subway. There's even a crowded Starbucks for those with a taste for $5 bitter coffee. Meal plan is mandatory for freshman, and it's not cheap!

Lots of Asians
While most people here are white, there are a lot of international students from Asia, mostly China. They generally stick together and do not socialize with Americans. There are not many African Americans, and I don't think I've ever met anybody from South America. Overall there is a lot of diversity, but the big chunk of that diversity prefers to keep to themselves (the Chinese students).

Zero Tolerance
Anybody caught with drugs gets the boot. I think people might be able to get away with alcohol once or something like that, but I am not sure since I do not get involved with it.
