What impressed you negatively?

"students seemed really relaxed and not that serious about classes, maybe it's just me but I would prefer students that take the education part seriously (not cram sessions before exams)" Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Cab drivers do try to rip you off, esp if you're from out of town. Public transport is much better...the subway and train system are definitely worth it (the train runs about every 1/2 hour directly from the airport to the city -there's one stop right next to Drexel- for only about 5$ compared to 25+ for a cab)..where I'm from, public transport is sketchy or nonexistent, so I definitely like Philly" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Interview was very relaxing and my interviewer put me at ease. He brought up the 'where did you interview/apply question' and then proceeded to mention his links to all those schools and the merits of those programs..it kind of threw me off a bit, but he went back to temple...Didn't really ask any questions...just waited for me to ask them" Report Response
