    Very diverse student body, which is great. Lots of good people! Gorgeous campus!

    Not nearly enough parking... Freshmen and sophomore residents can't have cars. Not at all flexible for those of us who have to work! You have to work within walking distance. LOTS of drinking on campus.

    They actually change the cafeteria food when parents are expected... eg. homecoming weekend.

    Not a lot to do in town. Close to trains and buses, though.

    Would be happier if things were more flexible... eg. parking, food plans, campus safety rules (in dorms by 8pm or you have to be let in by campus safety - new rule 2009-10), etc. read full review

    Ever heard of the ol' quote, Life is what you make of it? This undeniably applies to student life at Drew. I will be honest: when I first arrived at Drew, I did not fall in love with it within the first few days or even with in the first couple of weeks. It took time for the school and campus life to grow on me. I think it was because my expectations were too high. I wanted to love it immediately without putting any effort into making the most of my life here. I think the trick to falling in love with any university is to get involved! For such a tiny school, Drew has a ridiculous amount of clubs and organizations, sports, internship opportunities, and campus jobs to immerse yourself in. There isn't much to do off-campus, because Madison is a very suburban town mostly filled with boutiques and restaurants, and the neighboring towns are not-so-cheap train rides away. But if you want to have fun, you can make it happen! So don't coop yourself up in your room all day. I've found that the people I know here who are truly unhappy are those who coincidentally are not involved (physically or emotionally). This is NOT the way to go. You must be interactive and social - even if you are shy or introspective by nature, like me, apply your social skills and you will find that it is easy to have fun on campus. I am someone who has never been very interested in sports, but in November, I joined the Varsity Fencing team - and later, began to take up free fitness and exercise courses offered at Drew. Get involved! read full review
