How much is a new grad from Drexel with a BSN on average make an hour or annually? Is it difficult to find a job as a new grad in Philadelphia? What is the cost of living in Philly?

The metro area seems to be mostly in the 27.50 an hour range for new grads. Those rates are by facility not by the school you go to. Job market is tough. Cost of living is cheaper than the other major east coast cities but it's still a big city. I pay more in taxes to the city than to the state. Housing will vary based on neighborhood.
