Philadelphia
Philadelphia is huge, and there are so many different things to do. One of the best things is restaurant week, where you can get amazing food for cheap! Drexel has several places where students can work-out or play sports for free. Philadelphia comes with all the perks of a big city, plus the benefit of being home to the Philly Cheese Steak. Drexel gives students many opportunities to make use of the resources in the city, and you even get credit Freshmen year for going to the zoo, or any of the museums. Also, at the start of the year Drexel reserves part of the Phillies stadium for Drexel students.

Food
Philadelphia is home to the Philly Cheese Steak. You can find a good one almost everywhere, but if you go to Pat's or Geno's you can find the best steak (although which one is truly the best is still up to debate). There are many places to eat both on and off campus, and the main campus is right next to UPenn, so you can make use of their places to eat as well. Over all, the food is pretty cheap and you can find almost anything, from pizza and burgers to middle-eastern food and sushi. The really unique part is the food trucks. It sounds weird, but the trucks are actually really good, cheap (a whole meal can be as little as $3), and clean.

Not Great
Make sure to fill out the FAFSA early, you get a $1000 for that. That being said, financial aid is not the school's strong point, it still comes out to be pretty expensive unless you have really good grades, or if you're a good athlete (they actually get more scholarships).
