<div class="IPBDescription">wizard@psu might become wizard@villanova</div> I am tossing around some ideas for graduate schools here in SouthEast Pennsylvania, and wondered if anyone here was:

A. From the area
B. Possibly attending(ed) school.

I just wondered what some of your general feelings about your schools are. Would you recommend it to another?

I have pretty much ruled out U of Penn and Drexel due to distance, but if you really like it there let me know.

Tuition doesn't matter but driving distance does. I live in Chester County and my absolute limit is between Lancaster and Philadelphia and North to Pottsville (land of Yeungling)


(Possible degrees are MS in Systems Eng, Software Eng, Busines Admin (or other technical)

    It would help a great deal if you specified your career path.

    That may be true, but I think they are only found on the lower levels of hell. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> j/k I love Philly.

    Drexel/UPenn lie in one of the worst sections of Philadelphia. Although it wouldn't be as bad since I would be commuting. However commuting to Philadelphia is something I would like to avoid unless the school is absolutely worth it. The cost of parking in near center city would kill me.

    true, you wouldn't want to commute there, especially at rush hour -- and true, it's not the best neighborhood -- my gf once got her car window smashed and CDs stolen twice, in one month, in the LOCKED STUDENT GARAGE...

    so yeah, long story short, if you're not gonna live on campus, forget it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    that said, they have decent graduate housing...

    Umm...I beg to differ. My friend's brother went to Drexel for Graphic Design and he took the train everyday.

    Well, I graduated in May. However I will be up every now and then for assorted purposes. I am working with Network Club to host more LAN parties featuring NS. I will also be up there every other weekend to visit my girlfriend.

    I never thought about getting graduate housing at Penn. The only problem with that is the Philadelphia wage tax that would hit me if I lived in the city. I really don't want to pay $2542 before other local state and federal taxes. I don't know how people can survive there.
