Teaching adjunct for Penn (wife went to Drexel), I'm pretty sure that
Drexel doesn't have much more then a band, and some history, theory
courses. I would not go there to persue music. Penn is a lot better
musically, with many more groups to perform with. Drexel is a top notch
school, and their placement programs are quite good- but not for music.
