If you think of it from a customer service perspective, why would you keep paying for crappy product when there’s competition across the street.

My only point would be: before leaving, know what you’re looking for so you don’t find yourself wandering. If you can set goals that you can weigh your options against, you’ll have a more efficient experience evaluating options and a higher chance of making the right decision.

I think it’s an extremely adult decision to make, and better to make sooner than later.

Best of luck, Emily, and keep me posted if we can do anything else to help.

I was in the same situation last year, that you are in now. The only difference was that I was a computer science major. The program that I was in felt not innovative and did not promote learning. I eventually transferred out after my second term.

I was like you and Alex, I hated blackboard and drexelone. They are clumsy tools and really do not aid the educational process. Unfortunately, many schools still use them. The current school I am attending, uses blackboard. It is somewhat of an industry standard.

I may venture as far as to say that Drexel sort of ruined computer science for me, as it is no longer my major. If you feel that your educational experience is going to be ruined by Drexel, then by all means seek other schools. It is not a good place to ‘find yourself’ educationally, or try and suffer through a program that has many flaws.

Time is your greatest asset, don’t waste it.

As far as drexelone, it’s powered by Banner which I hear has (sadly) managed to sell itself to most of the colleges on the eastern seaboard. So you may have to head west before seeing anything less revolting.

Good luck with your studies either way, and I hope you can find a program (or other venture) that works for you!
