Drew University

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

OK, I admit it... I'm old! There are people writing epinions that were born the year I graduated from college. So? Does that mean my opinion of the school I attended is any less valuable? I think not!

I attended Drew University from 1980 -...

Pros: Overall, very good institution.
Cons: Lack of support for foreign students.

Pros: Inexpensive, plenty, with lots of other choices.
Cons: Food on campus lacks variety.

So you decided to study at Drew. Good decision, I'm sure you'll like it. But let me tell you a couple of words on a subject nobody will teach you (which I consider to be a grave mistake) - dining at Drew.

You see, food preparation is a...

Pros: Juniors and senior have many options.
Cons: Freshmen and sophomores very few options.

If you are looking at Drew for an undergraduate education, do not base your decision on the dorms. As a freshman or sophomore, you will most likely live in Welch, Holloway, Brown, or Tolley. All four of these dorms are old, cramped, and have far two few...

Pros: beautiful campus and facilities
Cons: small, very small

I'll tell you right off the bat, I don't actually go to Drew University. However, I did seriously consider it. Drew had a lot of great things going for it, but there were a few things that ultimately dissuaded me from going there.

Drew is a...

Pros: quality of education, location, size
Cons: cost, size

Going to Drew was, easily, one of the best decisions I've ever made. As an alum, I'm always disappointed that Drew does not have more of a national reputation because my undergraduate experience there was so outstanding.

Academics: The...

Pros: small, close-knit
Cons: small, close-knit

I graduated from Drew last May, and it was a very hard place to leave. Drew was very close to the ideal undergraduate experience for me. I was looking for somewhere small (not the 600 students of my high school small) but small enough to feel...

Pros: Forested campus blocks out the suburban bustle.
Cons: Uh... increased risk of falling acorns?

Over the last decade, I've visited the campuses of many colleges and universities, from Maine to Hawaii. I was only a student at two, and those briefly, so I was usually visiting friends. Nonetheless, I've seen quite a selection of campuses - urban,...

Pros: quality of life and education
Cons: cost, teh listed cost does not include room and board

If you are thinking about attending Drew. Don't hesitate. These will truly be the best years of your life. I as well as any alumni I know have a great affinity for this institute. My only regret is that I can't do it again. Drew offers an education that...

Pros: Good programs
Cons: Bad dorms

I had the chance to visit Drew during the summer. That meant that there were no students around so I did not get a total feel for the school, but I was able to get a good tour of the campus. In fact, my family got a personal tour of the campus, a honor...

Pros: You learn a lot of information in each class.
Cons: Due to the amount of information one must learn, it can be overwhelming.

Drew University offers a variety of courses, taught by passionate faculty. One thing that is definitely apparent when sitting in on a Drew class is that the professor has a special interest in the subject matter. Each professor has unique experiences...

Pros: Beautiful Campus, Renowed Theater Programs, Accessible Professors, Famous President,Selective
Cons: NO DIVERSITY, Apathetic Students, Quiet Weekends, " Snobby" students

Drew University is certaintly the finest school in New Jersey, other than mega- selective Princeton University. Students like James Van Der Beek ( Dawson's Creek), and Soon Yi Previn ( Woody Allens Daughter and Girlfriend!), all are graduates. The campus...

Pros: Small classes with caring professors; guaranteed housing; open-minded student body.
Cons: Extremely expensive; questionable curriculum; mediocre outcomes; poor social life.

I graduated five years ago, and I don't recommend Drew for most individuals. If your family is very wealthy and can easily afford a $40,000 per year, or if you can win a full scholarship, then Drew might be worth considering. Since Drew only has ...
