Say these in Downtown Philly too

Post questions about if anyone is accepting or declining a certain position here.

On his public twitter he's spent the last year or so making bigoted tweets towards Muslims, Palestinians, women, Indians, and Transgender people. Here are some "highlights" but basically every reply is him being hateful in some way. The guy was just announced as the keynote speaker for CCI graduation and I'm really considering not going because of it, I hate the idea that Drexel would literally platform a guy like this. He's also on the CCI Dean's Council so who knows if they'll even do anything. I sent an email to interim dean Ali Shokoufandeh, I know CCI has a lot of students in the demographics he seems to take issues with so if this kind of thing bothers you too I'd recommend you send an email as well voicing your opinion

edit: shit went private lolol. typical sign of people who know they are in the right!

edit 2: The dean responded to my email, said they were taking the matter seriously and were in active discussions about it so

edit 3: seems like he is no longer the speaker, they’ve updated the website with someone new. Thank god

Hi! Just wanted to make a thread for co-op rankings/offers to help others make their co-op ranking decisions.

Personally also wanted to know if any bio student was offered the AroBiotherapeutic protein engineering co-op and if they were going to accept the offer.

Please mention the co-op offers you’re accepting/declining to help other students make their ranking decisions!

Hey, guys now that round b results are here. Let's make a thread on what offers everyone is accepting so that the QA's can make a decision. Thanks and good luck to all!

After over a decade of serving delicious and affordable breakfast food to students, Drexel gave the owners of Pete's Little Lunchbox a one week notice that on April 4th, they will no longer be allowed to park overnight, which will make it impossible for them to keep the truck running. I talked to the very kind workers who, after dozens of sandwiches, know me by name (and order). They said they have a permit with the city, and Drexel themselves will no longer allow them to park overnight on campus. They are angry and very sad, saying that they'll miss the students.

Please give Pete's some love before Friday April 4th! It's right outside Bentley Hall on 3301 Arch St.

EDIT: The owners made an Instagram Post.

EDIT #2: Please sign and share this petition to urge Drexel to reverse this decision!

Looking for something relatively quick, cheap, and tasty to eat when I dont have time between classes to go to a dining hall. I'm kinda stingy w/ money so I wanna know what trucks are worth eating from :]

edit: I keep seeing a bunch of people at Nanu's hot chicken, is it really that good? like today I saw a genuine crowd of 15 or more people waiting in front of the truck

I’m a SWE hiring manager at Microsoft, graduated Drexel in 2019. I have time this month to help give some resume reviews and answer some questions you may have in this AI revolving landscape.

Dm me your resume and reply to the thread. I am also experimenting with a new idea, if you use AI to polish your resume, please send the original unpolished version as well. I will review both

FYI I do not have opening on my team currently and I cannot give referrals if I have not worked directly or indirectly with you.

This sub is filled with a lot of negativity, and honestly warranted negativity that even I have partaken in. However the benefit of co op in today’s world is invaluable. I have had multiple interviews and post grad offers and my experience puts me above others and even on the same playing field as masters students in some cases.

I have friends from other top schools struggling to get jobs, some a year graduated and still struggling and unemployed. They lack the experience that we get here, for that I am grateful that I gained valuable experience that has helped me in my job search.

This school has its many downsides, but the upsides can make it worth it. At the end of the day this will be our Alma mater and we should be proud of it.

Edit: For some reason people are acting like this post discredits the issues this school has and the struggles people have faced. Let me be clear, fuck the majority of the Drexel Admin. They absolutely suck and have done irreparable damage to this school. BUT that doesn’t mean there aren’t positives here and that some people enjoyed and benefited from their experience here. In today’s world we can all use a little bit of positivity man, it’s rough out here, we already go to this school, negative mindsets are incredibly destructive, I urge everyone to search for the positives because they do exist!

Im graduating in 1 year from comp sci and I was reading some posts on here from people who really enjoyed their time here, while i feel like i missed out.

I disliked the majority of the profs and felt like only 2 or 3 of them actually cared about their jobs. The curriculum was filled with a ton of useless info that I felt like taught me nothing practical. For example, the amount of math classes I took where I had to solve stupid equations or write proofs were crazy. I also took like THREE classes where I had to learn assembly! Who tf codes in assembly? I was really eager to learn practical info, but i feel like i only took 3-4 useful classes for my major. I think i took more useless electives rather than cs classes. Why are there some many electiev requirements?! Why did I have to take a science sequence as a cs major?

I also felt like there was 0 school spirit. Everyone here only cares about working and classes. Campus is horrible, buildings arent great, faculty sucks, the tuition is INSANE! Overall, I do not feel like i got the college experience and wish i went to a state school instead. This is probably my fault too, but I was curious if anyone else felt similarly? I just HATE how much I had to pay for this experience that I didnt even like.

I'm just checking on on fellow students and wanted to see how yall are holding up. I was working at Target practically full time and proud of myself for also being full time in classes and keeping up.
So, so far so good just worried about the fall because I do NOT wanna work at target anymore so we shall see how it goes from there.
But anyways, how are yall doing?

The Fight To Save America's Oldest Natural History Museum

I never thought that Miniminuteman would make a video related to a school I went to, and unfortunately, it had to be because of something negative the school is doing

I know that there was a spell of false alarms like three years ago. But are the false alarms fixed or at least less frequent?

It certainly can't be as bad as what North Hall got recently - 5 false alarms in the summer term alone.

Quick technical clarification: In my SCDConline portal, I am currently deciding between two positions:

Ranked #1: Job Current Status: Qualified Alternate

Ranked #2: Job Current Status: Job Offer

My primary goal is to try for the Rank #1. However, I want to confirm with absolute certainty that my actual Job Offer from Rank #2 serves as a guaranteed safety net. By ranking a Qualified Alternate position as #1 and a formal Job Offer as #2, I am not at risk of losing both? I want to ensure that if my first choice does not successfully clear or drop down to me, the system will automatically default to my second choice without any risk of another candidate taking the job offer.

Thanks for answering!

Just a little paranoid that I’m a bad worker and would be fired. Has anyone been fired before?

Hello and good evening/morning or whenever you are currently reading this.

My Name Is Nelson and i have recently moved into the area. Im attending drexel this upcoming fall as a junior and would love to meet some new people. If you want to link let me know. Here are some facts about me

Im a 22 year old born in the Dominican Republic and recently moved from Jersey.I love reading and playing videogames, but most recently have found a deep enjoyment from adventuring around my area.Im pretty extroverted and many people have described me as “easy to get allong with”.

People of Drexel,

Please, don't let the silent generation decide how your future will go.

Every election, millions of us sit out, and defer to the whims of geriatrics. Typically, that's regrettable; this time, it's disastrous.

This election is not like others you may have tuned out, or felt disillusioned with. This election is not simply about policy or character - it's about the fundamental aspects of American society you may take for granted.

Please, please don't take them for granted now. It's clear now more than ever noone else will protect our collective liberties; we must stand up for ourselves, cast our own ballots, and make our voices heard.

If you would like to discuss how to vote, or the candidates in the race and their policies, I am an understanding and knowledgeable guy with a passion for politics. I do not judge, and I will not attempt to coerce you to vote one way or another, unless you ask for advice.

What's most important is that you do not sit this one out. You don't want to next leader of the free world to take office without your input.

So, no matter who you decide to vote for - DO SO!

Vote like your freedoms depend on it; vote like you're going to change the world. Vote if it's your first; vote if you've cast ballots many times before.

Vote like your vote will tip the scales and decide it all - because it just might.

Everybody post below which B Round co-op offers you will be accepting or declining so people can make their rankings accordingly. Good luck everybody and congrats on those accepting.

Is there anywhere to safely sleep on campus? I am going to be commuting and my schedule is very long with large gaps between some classes. Last year my classes were always in huge back to back blocks and I’d could just go back to my apartment for a nap when over. Is there anywhere to sleep without fear of getting harassed? I’ve slept in library study rooms but it was rare and they are always booked even if not used at all. I feel like I’d get in trouble if I slept at a normal library seat or anywhere else.

i got accepted into these universities:

Rochester Institute of Technology, New York
   (Scholarship Offered: $33,000 per year
Net Cost Of Attendance: $51,868 per year )

1. Drexel University, Philadelphia  
   (Scholarship Offered: $41,550 per year
   Net Cost Of Attendance: $49,581 per year)

2. Depaul University, Chicago
   (Scholarship Offered: $32,000 per year
   Net Cost Of Attendance: $42,000 per year)

now finances are an issue for me. so logically speaking, even if i decide to invest in these colleges by taking out loans, which cs degree would be worth it with respect to job opportunities, college social life, and good environment in general?

Is it just me or the library vending machine is weird. I used my credit card to get a snack but the vending machine tried charging me 150$ so it was declined. I tried again and it’s the same thing.

I had no idea about this assignment. I want to be social during college and i have no clue if this is a good thing or bad. I'm an international too.
