    This is where you go if you are taking a language course at PENN. Also a decent study area on the first floor.

    Unrelated: Drexel University indirectly led me to become a Yelper. I had moved to Philadelphia for…read moregrad school, and I wanted to find a good cheesesteak. Google pointed me towards Yelp. Yelp pointed me toward cheesesteaks. And well, here we are... I have mixed feelings about Drexel University. On a good day, I have positive feelings about: + The time and money that I invested in a master's degree from a relatively well ranked university (although this is debatable, and entirely dependent on which academic ranking list you consider). + The co-op program; I was required to complete a slightly modified version to receive my degree. The co-op emphasis resulted in me doing a summer internship of sorts, which then resulted in me getting the job I have now. So (when I'm feeling generous), I'm willing to concede that I now have an established career in a field that I didn't actually qualify for because my boss happened to be impressed with my co-op experience. But, we're talking Butterfly Effect-ish events that has led me to where I am, so Drexel University doesn't get all the credit. On a bad day, I remember: - Some of the borderline unqualified professors that I had to deal with. - How the program I was in seemed to play fast and loose with the curriculum. - How the aforementioned program basically cut me loose with few, correction, no networking opportunities afforded me (despite my best and often desperate efforts). They are good about asking me to donate to the school though, but it'll be a cold day in Mali before I become a donating alumnus. - How I'm actually in an entirely un-related field right now, so the degree that I pursued proved to be an expensive waste of time. - How I was unemployed for 1.5 years following the expensive education that I pursued. Well this last one involved so many variables that it would be unfair to blame it on Drexel University. All of this came to mind recently, because I am mere months away from paying off my graduate student loans. It was a hefty amount. I tried to the best of my ability to limit how much money I borrowed and it was still pretty expensive. But, I have a career (that I love), which has helped me pay off the loans within... ::counting:: four years of me receiving the degree... Many of my friends from the program have also gone on to become quite successful in their respective careers. So... Now I'm straddling the line and feeling ambivalence about Drexel as a whole. I wouldn't do it again if I had a choice. But if I had a choice, I would also be born a Saudi Arabian prince. We can get into weird alternate timelines with me very easily... Ultimately, if your decision to pursue post-secondary education is significantly influenced by Yelp reviews, university as a whole may not be for you. Do your due diligence, and determine if Drexel is your best option. Or don't. We all have to learn these things by ourselves, right? After all, we aren't talking about cheesesteaks here... Lastly, while the main campus is decent, the Center City Campus is ugly as sin. A majority of my classes were at the ugly campus. Sad.

    I've been coming here for almost a year and everyone I dealt with from student dentists, faculty,…read morefinancial aid staff have been nothing but kind, courteous, and helpful. I've had a complete exam, cleaning, a crown, extraction, and a bridge. I was assigned a senior year student, Adam, who is great! All students here are supervised by faculty to check their work and make sure it's done properly. Every time they checked Adam's work, or asked him questions they always said he was correct and told me that I was in good hands, which I totally agree with. One faculty member suggested I apply for Hill-Burton to pay for my bridge. It's available for low income people & is actually a federal law that requires hospitals to give low cost or free services to people who are eligible. U Penn Dental School is actually one of the few remaining institutions where it is mandated. I was eligible and saved over $2000 on the bridge. The finance department was very helpful in setting up payment plans to pay the $640 balance. Their basic policy is 30% of what you owe and $100 a month after that until the bill is paid. There is no interest added. I had no problems making an appointment, even with urgent care once. If I had a problem or question I was able to text Adam and he always got back to me the same day. I'll be sorry to see him go. The only downside here is appointments are long. Expect to be there at 2, 3 or even four hours depending on what they need to do.

She was very nice , I regret having written a review that put Penn Dental and her in a poor light . It's good place . It's been years since I regrettably wrote my review ,I just never got around to removing it . It takes time to get used to dentures and even though my student dentist told me this ,I was too upset which really was my failure to to be patient. In time you get used to them . Later you can apply for a grant -maybe get denture implants ?, They are not the super expensive ones , You can snap them in , they do not have the plastic covering the top of your mouth , I'm getting them soon.

    I am reviewing this university solely as a commentary on the grounds practices of USP. USP is in a…read moreunique position to have a positive influence on the ecology of West Philadelphia, as they own a key chunk of land situated near both Clark Park and Woodland Cemetery, two greenspaces, close to the Schuylkill river, in a highly-developed urban area with little greenspace. First, I want to say that the campus IS doing a lot of good things ecologically. Many of the larger trees planted on the campus are native, and they have left some of the land at the edges of their property semi-wild, which provides more habitat for migratory birds. I do bird surveying as a volunteer for eBird (http://ebird.org) in Woodlands Cemetery, and I've seen a number of somewhat unusual birds utilizing the property on the USP side of the fence...numerous warbler species, Fox sparrow, white crowned sparrow, small flocks of hermit thrush, and many more common migratory birds as well, as well as resident woodpeckers, and once, a bluebird. But one thing I really don't like about USP's practices is that I have seen the groundspeople of this university spraying their flower beds, including ones near the street, with liberal amounts of synthetic herbicides. The grass on the campus also shows a sterile, uniform look, which I suspect reflects heavy chemical usage. I think that the use of herbicides for aesthetic purposes is entirely unnecessary, and I think it would both look better for USP and be better for the community and surrounding ecosystems if they'd halt the use of herbicides entirely. I have researched herbicides extensively, and most of the mainstream ones used, while the marketing material put forth by the companies selling them tells you are totally safe, can be quite damaging to the environment. For example, Roundup, one of the most commonly used ones, is highly toxic to amphibians. I have written to USP to urge them to halt the use of herbicides. My impression of this university would be more favorable if they would halt this practice. USP is a school that is best known for Pharmacy, a science that is dedicated to protecting and advancing human health. How are they protecting human health by spraying unnecessary synthetic chemicals for strictly aesthetic purposes? I do not think that this usage is consistent with the overall purpose and misison of USP and I would urge them to halt this unnecessary practice.

Key to its distinctive education is a tradition of hands-on research and experiential learning that is evident in every graduate who has walked its campus.
