Drexel University
Philadelphia, PA
A private university in Philadelphia built around cooperative education — most students alternate semesters of class with full-time paid co-op jobs, graduating with real work experience alongside strong programs in engineering, business, and design. The co-op schedule makes campus social life a bit less continuous than at other schools, with students leaning on Philadelphia's city life and a moderate Greek and club scene between work rotations.
