Philadelphia is known as the birthplace of the U.S., as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were both signed here, in 1776 and 1787, respectively. History buffs in particular will enjoy touring the city after their visit to Drexel, but there is much to do for everyone.
The campus is less than ten miles from Philadelphia International Airport. If you are traveling via public transportation, the Airport Line will get you almost directly to Drexel, as it stops at the 30th Street Station, a short walk from campus. The town is also bike-friendly, with a city-wide bike sharing program.
Taking a campus tour is the best way to learn about a Drexel education. The college offers tour options almost every day, just be sure to sign up on the school's website before your visit. The tour consists of an information session followed by a student-guided walk around campus.
Take a photo with the city's signature bronze statue of Rocky. Visit Love Park, next to City Hall, and its massive fountain. For incredible views, visit the One Liberty Observation Deck, an observation deck 883ft. high, where you get 360° breathtaking views of the city skyline. Don't miss the massive and recently renovated Philadelphia Museum of Art, or for history buffs, your chance to see the Liberty Bell, adjacent to Independence Hall.
