Much
of Drexel’s energy comes from the fact that it is right
in the heart of a very vibrant city, a city of neighborhoods,
where you can live within walking distance of work or the university,
or live on a farm and ride to school on the extensive
regional transportation system. Sharing University
City with the University of Pennsylvania, the number and
diversity of lectures and symposia, concerts, plays, dance,
seminars, movies, conferences, and restaurants within walking
distance would be hard to duplicate anywhere.
And
within Drexel’s
own borders, an elegant theatre, a first-class gym and
fitness center, a state-of-the-art media arts center, several
turf fields, a graduate student lounge, even an observatory,
all of which are open to all Drexel students.
When
you come to school at Drexel
Law, you will not just be studying. While here, you will
be connected to this vibrant city where you will work and live.
And our hope is that once you graduate, you will decide to
stay in this city and help build on its distinguished
history.
