Drew University is simultaneously the broadest and most intimate place in the world. The exposure to New York City through the range of programming on campus to the first-year seminar to an inclusive first-year residence hall experience is unmatched anywhere else. My best advice to any first-year student is to take every opportunity you can! ”
Thanks to Drew, I graduated with a broad depth of knowledge and wide array of skills. My political science coursework sufficiently prepared me for advanced courses in my Master's program at Georgetown University. I found that my Drew experiences - such as the United Nations semester, study abroad program in China and Civic Scholar volunteer work - paved the road for my success. ”
