Memorable Quote:Like even if you go to Drexel, I feel like everybody can have a truly unique experience, even if you're in the same major as somebody else, you guys could do completely different things based off of what your Co Ops are, ended up doing study abroad, what things you do on campus. So yeah, I just thought that was the coolest thing. ” Maura Jarvis.
