They used to be BYOB only but apparently had to many college kids coming in getting shitfaced so they have a liquor license now.

I was one of those college kids; my fraternity brothers and I would go there with like 12 people and 3 cases of beer and eat dumplings while getting trashed for hours.

Granted, we knew we were the worst so we'd leave a 50% tip lol

  1. Drexel's a private university there's no in state vs out of state

  2. it doesn't cost 60k a year, it costs $16-18k a quarter in tuition, and you only have 12 quarters to pay for over a 5 year program putting the base tuition cost around 200k without financial aid

  3. everyone gets substantial financial aid at Drexel; I got 50% off tuition, so that leaves $100k in tuition

  4. Drexel students get 3 coops in a 5 year program, and I earned an avg $20k each coop, which leaves $40k

  5. FAFSA loans account for a little over $6k a year, and over 5 years I got $31k in FAFSA loans leaving $9 in tuition

  6. I worked as a barback for 3 summers, earning $6k avg each summer covering for total $18k

So I graduated with a net +9k after my time at Drexel, and had paid my parents back completely before I even graduated. But sure, go ahead and tell me about how privileged I am because I liked to have fun with my friends every now and then.

Idk why you're downvoted. You seemed to be just explaining in case I was new to this term. Thank you

Np, and I think it's because I mentioned in this thread how I use to roll up with my fraternity brothers and lots of beer and we'd get trashed while eating soup dumplings until we couldn't.

We were dickheads, but it was worth it and we always tipped well lol

As long as you weren't too bad, sounds like a great time 😅

Lol we were just a little loud, but nothing egregious enough to come close to being kicked out. Like I said, we always tipped extra to make up for the bigger mess we made from all the cans haha

Definitely some of my better memories
