Drexel University Sophomore Dorms Ranked

The biggest pro would be that Towers has the largest rooms of the freshman dorms and is the absolute closest you can get to the main dining hall. Only Bentley would be a little closer to classes (they are side by side). The Bay windows are cute too.
In my experience, Towers was a more social dorm than the others. AND there as of my writing this there is no cameras anywhere but the lobby. RAs varied but def seemed more lax than other dorms. Towers hall is a dump but it felt like MY dump. Though it was built in the 80s it's interior decoration strikes me as 50s in an outdated way. It's clear the moment you step in that this dorm is much less respected by the students than any other building (graffiti all over the elevators, but they were funny so it gets a pass) so take that as you will.

Towers had thin walls (but i think all the dorms did) that you could hear people around you, above and below you, through and most notably Towers seemed to NEVER get any noise complaints from RAs (a pro and a con). I'd hear noise of people running around the halls at 3am so ig stear clear if you sleep light. Tile floors got really cold at winter so i always wore slippers.

Just to pass along when I was there some floors had a problem with mold and like floor 3 or 5 had mushrooms growing straight out of the wall. Also I was sick through nearly all of fall term (ig freshman flu what can you do) but I was told that being in a massive dorm with communal bathrooms likely caused my extended suffering.

There’s no stove just one hot plate in any of the room types except lower levels. Lancaster/Powelton ave restaurants are close. 24hr gym and study rooms. Rooms go out fast. Ceilings are unfinished and AC is limited to energy saver settings(didn’t work in 80 deg. Elevator is a long wait. Bathrooms have no fans. - 1 year ago
