Drexel Autonomous Systems Lab Reviews

Teachers try to brainwash students into their own beliefs. Shame on Drexel.

Associate Professor George Ciccariello-Maher tweeted just hours after the massacre white people and men will go on shooting sprees when they don t get what they want.

yea so like i was there and then the professor started to yell at me and called for a genocide of my race??

My son was accepted into the engineering program as part of the largest incoming freshman class. He was given every hard class they could think of (freshmen don't get to pick their classes) and left after that first year. Please think twice before attending this school. Because they do trimesters, very few credits transfer. I might as well have dropped $50,000 in the trash can.

They provided a fantastic opportunity for a great education...what students decide to do with this is on them. It's fast paced and challenging -- you'll likely hate it while you're there -- but in the end, the coops and staff make the experience worth it if you're willing to put the time and effort in.

I want to be a future cop or NBA player and this school seems right

I think the college should lose it's federal funding if it doesn't fire that race baiting professor . It should be stripped of all it's accreditation and dissolved and it's property and all of the contents should be auctioned off and the money given to the people of the state . The buildings should be demolished and all metals that may be in the buildings sold to the the highest bidder .

Drexel is my #1 college choice. They're campus is abundant with cultured life, scholar opportunities, and social events.

A short review does not give the education and opportunities I have received from Drexel justice.

Only been here in passing, but everyone I know who goes here says it is a great school.

Did undergrad simultaneous BS/MS, and am working on a PhD here, all in engineering. Its a good school. Pricey, but if you get a scholarship it can really help. The Co-Op program is a definite plus, but the cost is a turnoff to a lot of people.

Great educational experience! I would highly recommend it.

Professors that promote racist violence. Deplorable.

I do not personally attend any of he classes here at Drexel, so I can not say anything class wise. The campus seems to be a little bit sketchy, but over all the Drexel does offer you the city feel in the heart of Philly.

Garbage university run by some self-righteous libtards who don't understand anything about how the world works. They are more intrested in forcing their beliefs on you. If you dont agree with thier outrageous ideas the teachers will hold a grudge against you and it will show in your grades. Please do not make the mistake of attending this school.

Ps I am also very ashamed to say that the college professor who said he wanted to puke when a man gave up a seat for one our service men is a professor here. Shame on you Drexel

I was going to go and had already figured out my tuition plan, however I am now scared of attending due to the racist white genocide professor. Will I be killed on campus?

I joined Drexel University as a Computer Science major with a sole aim to take transfer to a better institution.

The only two things that I liked at Drexel was :-
1. Scholarship and Financial Aid
2. Math faculty (Dimitri, Jason and Pavel Grinfield)

The CS lectures were aweful, so was the CS faculty. I had a 4 GPA for 3 continuous quarters (that's how long I stayed here). CS 164 was a course which taught Javascript language. However, I knew more JavaScript before taking the course than I came out learning after the course. Totally confusing. Popyack was my professor.

CS 171 and 172 were fine, just because I had prior experience with C++. In 8 out of 10 lectures I fell asleep, because they were extremely boring. The professor made no eye contact what so ever. Half of the time what he says would make no sense.
The labs don't really help you out, they are poorly designed. Most labs will take more time than the time allotted. You'll have to go home with extra work.

The university is fraud and extremely unmanaged. There's no infrastructure compared to the good colleges. Small football field.

The area is not safe at all. You keep hearing this person got shot, that person got robbed, raped etc.

They do not maintain student to faculty ratio. Classes are oversized and poorly air conditioned.

Drexel course registration system is very poor. Generally by the time your registration time starts most of the classes you had planned to take would be full. Leaving you sweating and worried early in the morning (around 7 am).

There's something called Drexel Central at Drexel, which helps you out with general/administrative/financial aid questions. I emailed them many a times, however, out of 5 emails, I only got reply to 3 of them. Bad service. (They say they maintain a well-designed database system for all the messages/inquiries/support).

They compare themselves to UPenn. (Yes, you can laugh). Also, some professors say that Drexel Dragons are much better than UPenn students. (Laugh again).

Extremely expensive. (So much money for nothin'. In fact, the tuition is more than that of UPenn which is an Ivey League)

There are two places where you can go and have meals, and hang out with friends too. However, the food options there is so limited that it's better you rather eat at other places and waste all your meal swipes for which you are paying about $ 2000 per quarter.
Even with meal swipes you don't get everything (basically the good things). For most of the things you can't use meal swipes.
For meal swipe, at one of the locations, for example you can buy Pepppperrrronnnni Pizza (You can guess the quality of the pizza! The worst pepperoni is served here.)

The free refill cups are extremely small. When I joined in the Fall the cups had a good size of 16 oz, but as time flew the cups became smaller and smaller. They are now half (may be even lesser) of what they used to be.

The books for the courses are at extremely high price, and are hardly used.

Drexel maintains rating and review system for course and faculy, however, though it is hardly ever evaluated. (But they will send you a million emails asking you to complete course/faculty rating/review). For example, one of the Pfysics professors at Drexel, who is pathetic at teaching, asks the students to buy books if they are taking the course compulsorily, still continues this practice of making them buy books, even after so many reviews having been done against it. No action taken by Drexel.

The dorm life is not bad. Except that the washrooms, toilets are not cleaned on a daily basis.

The kitchen is always dirty.

Laundry room is always full.

Well, they do have a Subway, but the quality of service provided there is extremely poor. The guy there literally just throws everything you tell him on the bread, such that when the bread is folded, 1/4th of the sandwich comes out.

Chick fil A at Drexel unlike at all other locations does not provide free refills.

Again they are charging you so much for nothing. Never consider going here.

One of the top four co-op programs in the country and there are some pretty cool opportunities here, but the school won't hold your hand to find them. Some of the professors are very helpful if you put forth the effort. Be prepared for incredibly dense curricula

Unhappy. Very expensive. Nobody really cared about the success of non-traditional students, despite professing to care. Need to finish filing my disability complaint with them, but believe me, if you're not a WASP then don't bother -- nobody will understand what you need or take interest in you, much less try to help you make your career work.

Tuition is high, but the school has a great reputation! Unfortunately I will not be attending. The faculty is very nice, but it wasnt enough to convince me to stay.

I am under the care of Dr. Corey K. Ruth, MD for Orthopedics and he is awesome!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. They get you in, and out, not rushing you, I guess the scheduling is done to perfection. I love it !!!

Great campus! Love the dragon mascot and modern buildings!

Would ordinarily give 4 stars, but there are a lot of ridiculous reviews here of people who have never set foot on Drexel's campus. The school is actually quite good, especially if you know what you want to do going in.

Attend only if you are prepared to slog your ass off, and if you have deep pockets. There is no such thing as an easy ride over here. The pace is deadly, and you never really have any down time. But what you get is an exceedingly rigorous education that will stand you in good stead anywhere in the real world.

Drexel was a great experience, but if you are a financial need student I would NOT recommend going there. Even with a scholarship It was very difficult to make ends meet. Working 40 hours a week and struggling for five years will not be fun, and it only takes away from the experience. Furthermore, If you have any kind of financial hold on your account you can not get transcripts or even participate in Co-op.

Expensive school. Coops are what you live for. Gets you the experience you need that will get you hired upon graduation. Most students don't go on to grad school because of this.

It's good for some people but not for everyone. It's best for the Fast Track Medical Programs and Engineering, but other than it's that not worth the ridiculously expensive tuition at all. The internet is incredibly unreliable, the professors are jerks and could care less if they are being fair, and finally, Drexel wants as much of your money as possible. I am a freshman here and after a term and a half I am throwing in the towel. It is literally a trap. Avoid this school at all costs. Even the co-op program is not worth all of the hoops you have to jump through just to attend here. I would like my money back, I am so disappointed at how this school has such a great reputation but once you get here they could care less about you. I am transferring and I could not be happier for making that decision.

Surprisingly good University, presenting a good amount of development and a few excellent professors. The co-op opportunities are very interesting, a great idea and implementation. It is, however, a very expensive education, leading to a lower prestige/cost relationship.

To become a top-ranked University, Drexel still needs a lot of branding through student achievement - combined with school pride, which could be much stronger - and research projects/applications with high visibility. Both could be reached with benefits to bring more top-level students and professors and with good money usage (because there is a lot of it) and cooperations for project funding.

A complete waste of time other than the co-ops. Could have been better off without a college.

Any university that allows for racists like George Ciccariello to continue working should be shut down. I plan to transfer away from Drexel for the following semester.

I was very interested in applying to this school but not after all the bad reviews I saw

my mom goes here now

Ocean

Great opportunities if you look for them. Extremely fast-paced but well worth it. Co-op program is pretty effective.

I don't understand why people just say bad words about Drexel. Surely they saw nothing, they didn't try the many opportunities that Drexel provide to its students, from co op to study abroad, ect.

The student loan debt you will accumulate is not worth it !!

Went to school here...while you may feel like you are getting the drexel shaft you are actually getting an education that will benefit you. The tuition is a bit steep, admittedly, but coop is something you cannot beat. I also love having drexel coops at my job now, they generally do great work.

Co-Op can't be beat, but lack of summer off I'd a bit of a bummer and as a Chemical Engineering major, the physics department that teaches freshman engineers needs some serious improvement

A great university to attend! Co-ops have no comparison! :)

Loved my time there. Enjoyed all the Professors, the students, the subjects, the facilities, the exposure, the discussions. Best years of my life.

The Professor asking for White Genocide and calling the Las Vegas Mass Murder Trumpism paints a vivid picture of what to expect from this University.

Free speech is one thing but teaching our young students to hate a race of people and disrespect our military is difficult to defend. As a former Navy Corpsman and a Hahnemann Medical College graduate (1959) I will no longer recommend Drexel to my friends and patients.

Drexel has a nice campus in the heart of university city.

I considered drexel, but the public media actions of their professor has deterred my investment in their program. It does not matter what my political views are, the outright lack of respect taints his professionalism. It is not the kind of professional I want to be

You should be shut down in disgrace ! how dare you employ this communist professor who says such vil filth about white people ! this country has gone nuts ! this man should be terminated at once ! what are you doing even employing known communists to poison the minds of the youth ! this dirt bag is a danger to society and America ! he should be arrested and jailed !

A little pricey, but definitely worth it with the co-op program. Once I got past the general engineering professors, I was able to learn a lot more as they care more about students in the upper level classes. This is a very challenged school, but the reward for graduating is great.

Dear Drexel Professor that wanted to vomit because someone gave a uniformed veteran their 1st class seat. Nevertheless if this country was under atack, this 22 year veteran would stand behinds you in a gun fight. Literally behind you with my rifle resting on your shoulder

Very poor service and respond time from some of the staffs at ISSS.

I am a student here in my 4rth of 5 years going for a degree in Biomedical Engineering. Drexel has a great program, if challenging, but the best part is definitely the coops with most programs completing a full year and a half (3 x 6 Month cycles) in actual job experience. Quarter system takes a bit of getting used to but I've come to enjoy the fast paced learning. Not for everyone but if you are looking for hands on work in the field during education Drexel is one of the best.

Terrible school, all they want is your money. They will screw you over on whatever fees they can. They do not care about their students. I suggest anyone who thinks about going here to look else where. There are way better colleges than this one. If possible I would give this place a negative rating.

One day a dragon always a dragon. Great engineering school, the campus is small though

I was only there for three nights on a trip and I hated it the rooms smelt gross there s no lights in the room and the staff there are mean and talk like you should know everything before they even tell you. I got a information session with some of the staff for the university and they couldn t even answer my basic questions like what percent of students live on campus. She was very mean and didn t let us ask any questions about the college. Overall I m happy I only had to stay there for 3 nights because it was that bad also the food is the same thing everyday.

The best decision I have ever had. The quality of education and faculty are so marvelous! Online education is top notch quality with Drexel. Their access service is very good!

If u want going to Temple, please come to here. If u want waste ur money. Welcome to Drexel university. I can't believe that the university library no fax machine. When you need help your advisor like a mute. No matter what, the stupid thing is you can't imagine will happen what and. Oh..the most important thing is dorms and stupid rules. Everything is nightmare. But philly is best city if this campus is out

I applied to multiple grad programs around the country and was accepted here. I will certainly my NOT be attending this institution!

I wouldn't spend $1 sending my children to this school if they are employing Professors like George Ciccariello-Maher! Guilt by association - you are who you associate yourself with!

My experience at Drexel University was horrible. It's all about business and the staff at Drexel don't really care about their students. All they care about is getting that tuition money that's basically it! Plus Drexel is too expensive and for the money, I would think they would offer more but they don't. I decided to leave them and go to Temple University, which is way better and cheaper in my pockets. Temple has so much more helpful resources than Drexel. Overall, I don't recommend applying for Drexel University.....they suck!! Temple University is wayyyy better!

Disgusted and offended, while researching schools to continue my education I found that there is a proffessor who is a white male calling for white genocide. Research this before going to this racist university. I would never pay to go to a school where a proffessor is calling for my death due to my race, I dont see getting good grades in his class.

Come here only if you want a terrible college experience and enjoy having professors that cannot teach to save their lives.

I attended Drexel and I can honestly say this was the worst choice I've made in a school choice. My professors were pretty decent, but the staff are not helpful and they talk to you like you should know certain things already. I pay this damn school every month on time because I have a balance due, and they won't release my transcripts even though I am paying them upward $125 per month. Which are payments that I am never late paying. I can honestly say I regret this decision and really should have went with my first choice which was Temple and my second choice being Cheyney. The one thing that i did love was it was fast track learning.

The Executive MBA (EMBA) program at the Drexel LeBow College of Business is fantastic for professionals seeking a collaborative environment that emphasizes applied learning. Their leadership is understanding of the work and family obligations students have to balance during their continuing education journey -- and the program reflects that understanding with various perks that ease the burden.

As at Drexel student- i hate it!

Everything sucks the only reason I am not transferring is because the credits are weird and cause of coops. I feel so stuck and miserable here

Will not grant me a degree as they wouldn't offer another term extension beyond the allowed time limit for completion!

It's extremely worrying that a professor working at your university preaches for white genocide and holds communist ideals. This is unacceptable conduct.

This University employs a proffesor that called for the extermination of an entire race. Did they immediately fire him? No, they called him in for a meeting.

Shame on you Drexel Univ for honoring the extrimist Noam Chomsky!! Arman Mosseni

Interviewed with Jennifer Brown as a transfer student. Extremely helpful, friendly and professional. Though I didn t receive my decision on the spot, I received additional and detailed information on the next step to becoming a Drexel student.
