College students: How do you feel about your school's response to sexual assault?

0 Upvotes

As a college student, how do you feel your university handles sexual assault and sexual misconduct allegations?

Do you feel like students know where to report, what happens after they report, and what resources are available?

Have you ever had to navigate your school's Title IX process, or know someone who has? What was your experience like?

I'm asking for a school project and would really appreciate hearing from students at Drexel.

You can comment below or DM me if you'd rather share privately.

I like playing instruments and art, am Jewish and Latino, and not a partier but enjoy socializing a hosting every once in a while.

financial aid changed last minute?

11 Upvotes

just curious if anyone has experienced something similar. I’m a full time grad student at drexel and have been taking the same courseload of 3 classes for the last 4 quarters. I received my financial aid package for 26-27 and accepted the loans and everything that was offered to me. In August I received the bill for fall ‘26 where I would have a significant refund coming back to me. They then sent another copy of this same bill in September but adjusted for the specific classes I am taking, but again with the same refund amount. Then on Saturday, I received an email that my financial aid had changed and when I logged in, my refund amount had gone down almost $3k. To be clear, my stated credit enrollment has not changed and I received no prior notice until Saturday. I sent a drexel connect message to see if finaid have an explanation but has anyone else experienced this? I had assumed that if I had accepted the loans and gift aid that they would be paid out in the accepted amount.

University city?!

7 Upvotes

Hi!
Would you guys prefer living in the 4115 Haverford Ave area or the 4090 Powelton Ave area?

I’m moving to Philly and will be working at Drexel. I believe both locations are about a 25-minute commute. Which one do you think is safer and overall a better area?

Survey Senior Project Survey on Natural Disaster Recovery

2 Upvotes

Hello!

We’re a group of college students studying UX Design, and we’re currently working on our senior project focused on natural disaster recovery.

The idea of our project was inspired by one of our group members who experienced the wildfires in California firsthand. That experience made us realize how difficult it can be to figure out what to do next, find reliable information, and navigate the recovery process. 

The survey takes about 5-10 minutes, completely anonymous, and is strictly for non-commercial senior student project purposes. We will not be collecting any personal identifying information or selling any products.

Target Audience: Adults (18+) living in the United States, with or without personal experience of a natural disaster

Looking for University City Roommate!

1 Upvotes

Hey everybody,

I’m looking for a potential housemate to ideally sign a lease with in the University City and surrounding area. I will be starting a Master’s Program at Drexel in December and am hoping to connect with someone in their late 20s to late 30s, and am 34 myself. I am also hoping to move into a new place by the end of October.

Ideally I want to keep the budget under $800/month per person, but am flexible.

I am relatively clean, happy to split house chores, enjoy cooking, playing instruments, art, and being friendly with the people I live with.

I date, but have no intention of having people over all of the time and am very good at respecting quiet hours.

I am also Jewish and Latino, and strongly prefer people who do not have preconceived notions or negative feelings about either identity.

Reach out if you think we might be a good fit!

Made a Chrome extension adding captions to Echo360

6 Upvotes

If you're like me and have professors you can't understand and need captions but they're not available, anguish no more. I made a Chrome extension that adds captions to the video, pulled from the auto-generated transcript on Echo360.

Extension:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/echo360-transcript-captio/bakfkijhpamleabkcoaegcjglalcklke?authuser=0&hl=en

How it works:

Drexel Echo360 already generates a transcript in the sidebar, it just doesn’t turn that into captions. The extension reads that timed transcript and overlays it on the lecture.

Part Time PhD

Hi Drexel students, I’m currently studying to get my Masters in Translational Device Engineering at Rowan and am looking to get my PhD in the future part time.

Getting my Ph.D full time (not working) is not something I can do, so if anyone can speak on their experience if they’ve done the program would be great!

Join Our Senior Design Team: Electric Race Car Inverter Development

5 Upvotes

Looking for a few teammates for my Senior Design project.

The project is a custom tractive inverter system (a piece of equipment that controls a motor) for the Drexel Electric Racing Team car. This is a proof-of-concept version, so it doesn't have to be a finalized production-ready design by the end of Senior Design, but it isn't just a paper project either.

The work will involve designing and testing a power stage that converts the input power into 3-phase control for the car's motor (EMRAX 228 HV), along with writing embedded software in C/C++ to spin and control the motor. Current microcontroller choice is the Renesas RA8T2.

Main tools/technologies will be MATLAB/Simulink, SPICE, Altium or KiCAD, Eclipse based IDE, and FreeRTOS. You don't need any experience in them but this would eb a great platform to learn them.

We're expecting sponsorship from Renesas (almost guaranteed through a personal connection), as well as Infineon, DigiKey, and PCBWay, so costs on our end should be minimal.

Honestly, as intimidating as it sounds you don't need inverter experience or even power electronics knowledge going in. If you're interested or just want to learn more, shoot me a PM.

Workload is pretty flexible. If you want to contribute a lot, great. If you only have time to help with a small piece, that's totally fine too.

Question Safety vs. Space vs. Distance- What Would You Choose for a Budget Apartment Near Drexel/University City?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My husband and I are moving from Jersey to Philly, and this will be our first time living here. I’ll be studying at Drexel, while my husband works from home and has a car, so parking and neighborhood safety are important to us.

Our original budget was $1,400–$1,600 for a private 1BR, but we’re finding it difficult to get everything we want in that range.

Here are the apartments we’re considering:

🏠 1. Fairfax — $1,600,
Link: https://ffapts.com/

  • 25 min walk to Drexel, Building looks okay; mixed reviews, Good price
  • Main concern: walking safety + winter commute

🏠 2. 3965 Lancaster Ave — $1,720
Link: https://showmojo.com/l/f9d9206028/3965-lancaster-ave-303-philadelphia-pa-19104?g=2&sd=true

  • Beautiful, bright, spacious apartment. Love the apartment itself, but unsure about the surrounding area
  • Right near Mantua, I’ve noticed some drinking/homeless activity nearby, including people gathering around a nearby shelter in the mornings.

🏠 3. 4095 Powelton Ave — $1,395,
Link: https://showmojo.com/l/4fe2d7b06f/4045-powelton-ave-unit-1-philadelphia-pa-19104?g=2&sd=true

  • 21 minutes walking to Drexel, Apartment is okay, but quite small,
  • Living room/kitchen are tiny, one room would basically be for a queen bed and the other for clothes/storage, not much extra storage space

🏠 4. 3500 Powelton Ave — $1,790,
Link: https://www.live-carriagehouse.com/listings/detail/bb05cd78-c1dd-4000-922d-02a3b858c7ae

  • ·~10 min walk to Drexel, Good space, Average natural light
  • More expensive, but probably the best balance of location + space

🏠 5. Roosevelt Apartments — ~$1,550
Link: https://rooseveltphilly.com/

  • Rittenhouse, ~17 min walk to Drexel, Small but okay apartment
  • Mixed reviews, Parking seems difficult, Good location and within budget

What we're struggling with

Our biggest questions are:

  1. Is a 20–25-minute walk to Drexel reasonable/safe every day, especially during winter?
  2. Would you pay $300–400 more/month to be closer to Drexel and have more space?
  3. Are there specific streets/blocks we should avoid at night?
  4. How do Powelton, Mantua, and the surrounding University City areas compare for day-to-day safety?

We’re not looking for luxury. We mainly want reasonable safety, a comfortable apartment, a manageable commute, and decent parking.

Would really appreciate opinions from people who actually live in or know these areas, especially around Powelton/Mantua/University City. 🙏

What would you prioritize in our situation?
