Ranking the Dorms at Drexel University

Imagine an old abandoned mental asylum, it's like that. There is only one elevator for the whole entire dorm, and kept on breaking down. Tldr: It ain't bad if you have the whole room to yourself. - 3 years ago

If you're not in an LLC or ELC person, this building will be hell. You will be trapped with an engineering or comp sci major who smells. MILLY DOES NOT HAVE NORMAL PEOPLE. - 9 months ago

24hr gym and study rooms. Ceilings unfinished and no stoves provided only hotplates. Mail & Package room. Near Lancaster Walk/Urban Eatery thus close to food options and Giant and subway station. Rooms have poor AC/heating - 9 months ago

Towers is mainly for freshman, each floor is split female, male, etc. Each floor has a TV with channels on it. 7th floor up has nice views, and its proximity to Urban(dining hall), food trucks, and gym is nice. Safety is prob not as good as Penn, and maintenance is not the best. Floors are all tile in the rooms. Washrooms are always breaking down. RA’s are all chill tho. All double rooms as well. Personally, all dorms are the same, but some have better visitor areas on the first floor. Including Summit, which is not as good as it looks from outside. - 2 years ago

Caneris was offered as a place to live my freshman year and it was probably the one of the better dorms on campus. Most of the rooms had 6 people in a suite with 2 people in a shared room but I was in a quad. We had a decent sized kitchen space (no stove) with a full sized fridge, but we did have a communal kitchen at the end of our hall.

Location wise, it's on the other side of campus from the other freshman dorms but it's the closest to where most of our classes are held.

The only issues I had with our dorm was the fact that one elevator was always broken and if you were at the end of the hall it was a trek to the other side to leave the building. - 4 years ago

Really nice and updated building. Everything is remodeled and nice. The biggest downside is only one kitchen for the whole building and not incredible community space on each floor. The lobby is great though and I spent a ton of time studying there. (Rooms on the curve or slightly bigger but also trapezoid shaped which is a little weird) - 1 year ago

I stayed at Race Hall my freshmen year of college! It was super nice I loved it. It’s apartment style so there is a living room/common area, then you have a kitchenette, a private bathroom with a shower, another private shower, and a sink in the hallway. There’s two bedrooms which both have two beds in them and two desks. It’s actually really cozy and I wouldn’t mind living there again. The building is really new and recently renovated so it’s super clean. There’s also security at the front. I lived on the 11th floor and the view of the Philadelphia skyline is soooo nice! Also you have your own thermostat with AC and heating. Literally the best place to live on campus as a freshmen if you want a suite style. In my opinion, Race Hall is the best freshmen door, period. - 4 years ago

This is honestly the best freshman dorm at drexel. it’s kind of crusty at times (what dorm isn’t) but for the most part it’s awesome. the rooms are gigantic and you get your own bathroom, kitchenette, and common area and you can control the temperature of the place too. loved living there - 4 years ago
