Asked by smm08I got accepted into Drexel University which i was very excited about. I'm not sure if it is a better school than the University of Scranton or St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. Is Drexel a prestigious school or should i go to St. Joseph's in Philly or the University of Scranton?

Drexel University is an institution of higher learning and research located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The school was founded in 1891 by Anthony J. Drexel, a noted financier and philanthropist. The current president is Constantine Papadakis. On July 1, 2002, Drexel was officially united with the former MCP Hahnemann University, creating the Drexel University College of Medicine; and in the fall of 2006, Drexel established its College of Law. Rankings Drexel has been ranked among the "Best National Universities-Top Schools" by U.S. News & World Report in its annual "America's Best Colleges". The 2008 rankings placed Drexel 108th, whereas 2006 rankings had the school at 109th. Drexel and the University of Pennsylvania are the only Philadelphia colleges in this category. In the 2006 edition of U.S. News & World Report, Drexel University is ranked the #109 university in the National Universities Doctoral category and the LeBow College of Business is ranked #99. In 2007, Business Week ranked the undergraduate business program among the top 30 private institutions in the country. Drexel frequently ranks among the top 25 schools in the nation for technology use according to The Princeton Review and The Intel Corporation, and was ranked first for wireless access by Yahoo!. The Drexel College of Medicine and College of Nursing & Health Professions also share accolades. The Physician's assistant program is in the nation's top 50, the CRNA program in the top 25. Not all of its rankings are positive, however. The Princeton Review ranked Drexel 1st for "Campus Is Tiny, Unsightly, or Both," 4th for "Professors Make Themselves Scarce," 7th for "Long Lines and Red Tape," 11th for "Least Happy Students," 14th for "Professors Get Low Marks," and 17th for "Teaching Assistants Teach Too Many Upper-Level Courses". The Math Forum@Drexel has been selected as one of the most useful websites by PC Magazine and Scientific American. The university's endowment has grown to $640 million and is the 16th largest private university in the U.S., with an enrollment of over 20,000 students. Drexel is the third largest private engineering college in the nation.
