![]() Business majors are also for the most part on the safe side. I have seen as I was searching job listings unpaid and stipend-based jobs for these as well. The co-ops will be paid, and paid competitively. This rings true for MOST engineers (a high percentage), computer science, and in general technical degrees. From what I understand my pay is standard for a first co-op and can be expected to increase 2-3k each following co-op, due to experience and more schooling. For example, I am making somewhere in the range of 12-13k whereas I believe the average for engineering majors is in the neighborhood of 15.5k. The average salaries are a bit misleading but generally correct for being average. Having said that, I do have some knowledge on other salaries. I will preface the following information by stating I am an engineering student, therefore that is where my first hand experience lies. I’m sure you have noted from the brochure that the salaries do vary quite substantially by majors. I am currently on co-op at the moment and therefore can only speak about my current/only experience. I would have thought that the atmosphere would have improved in the past 25 years, but reading posts here, it seems as if it is still slightly prevalent.įirst I am a second year student here at Drexel University. When I attended, it was called “The Drexel Shaft”. The overall feel of the staff is not very welcoming and even the answers to simple things seem to involve too much red tape. I was very surprised to see that there is still only 1 main dining hall, which is several blocks from the residence halls. When I attended, there was one dining hall and 4 dorms. Quoting my D “I do not want to get run over by a bus on the way to class.” and my favorite “There are too many inorganic sounds” (buses, cars, etc). It is very close to the Amtrak station.Ĭons: In the middle of the city. It is right in the middle of Philly, which is a very vibrant city. My D received more than 1/2 of tuition, room and board in merit aid. The honors college seemed good, with many perks. ![]() The overall academic program is also very good. Pros: The co-op program is one of the best in the country. My D applied and was accepted last year, but chose not to attend for a variety of reasons. I attended in the 80s as an engineering major.
