Yes! While not the most prestigious university on the planet, Drexel is a very good school for academics. They are especially famous for their engineering department and their Co-Op program. How much you like the campus really depends on whether or not you are into a city atmosphere, as the entire city is based in Philadelphia. The athletics are not the strongest if going to a school with a prestigious football team is a priority, but their professors are famed for being great teachers who really connect with students. While not a Top 20 school (They're actually ranked #199 in America according to Niche), they certainly have a lot of benefits that you should consider when trying to find the right school for you.
