I have to agree with both posts above. I am accepted into both Drexel and Haverford, but as long as financial aid works out, I will be attending Haverford because it is a much better fit for me.

have you visited Haverford? Pretty much immediately upon visiting you start to understand the unique feel of the school. Me, I am not much of a partyer. I have always preferred things like music events, shows, dinners, and just straight up chilling, which are the sorts of things that people do more at Haverford. Of course, there are some parties, but at Drexel there will definitely be a lot more to offer in that realm.

You also have to ask yourself if the availability of parties is as important to you as what each school has to offer academically. Do you want to be in the city or just near it? Do you want a small, personal learning experience or larger approach? Do you want to do a co-op or are you fine with doing traditional student research projects? There are many many many things to consider.
