Hey! I am just as nervous about the housing situation. I have some friends and my boyfriend already in Philly but since I will be finishing my first undergrad this May I am nervous too! But, from talking to other nursing students there are very few that live in Center City (where our buildings are). Most live in University City and travel via the Drexel Shuttle at 33rd and Market daily. They all said it is super easy, safe, and reliable. I am looking for housing now in University City. I just sent a request to the FB group so if anyone is interested in housing let me know!

Those are really nice situations! One of my closest friend's just had an interview at UPenn, and ideally I would like to live with her as well for finances and such, but we aren't sure yet of her status just yet. In that case I would be in University City because of the location and would rely on the Drexel shuttle. Ashley did you not send in the $200 housing deposit then? That's my main concern, because even if I do decide to live in center city I don't want to be bound to one apartment this early in case my circumstances change or I find roommates to live in University City.

I know I have quite a thread here, but on the topic of housing is anyone interested in living in University City over the Center City apartments?

The electives are from your undergrad degree. I had the same question, it is nothing in particular. You just need to have a Bachelors then complete all the pre-reqs! :)

If you decide to go on your own and live elsewhere (like University City) does Drexel help with that?

Hi Everyone! I was accepted in Drexel's ACE Fall 2013 cohort as well! Congrats to all who have with me! I know there are TONS of posts on here and I did not get through them all but I was wondering if anyone has insight on the housing situation? I said I would live on campus since I am from pgh, but my friend who is a nursing student there says very few nursing students live in Center City. Rather, they take the Drexel shuttle there everyday from Main Campus (living is a little cheaper in University City). I will graduate from my 1st Bachelor's in may, so I feel like I may be younger than a lot of the applicants and would still like to live around a lot of students and the area I am familiar with. Also people who I know that go to Drexel live in University city (so I'd feel more secure around people I know although I am sure I will make nursing friends fast). But does anyone know what the 200 housing deposit covers? I know there is housing in Center City but does it count for all the housing on both campus's? Also any accepted students just out of their 1st bachelors in the same situation and not sure about living next year? Thanks!
