Temple’s med school seems to be better. Not sure how that would affect your undergrad education, maybe access to faculty and research opportunities.
Have you visited both? Temple is actually in North Philadelphia. I would advise you not to choose one over the other based on the surrounding neighborhood. They’re both in rough areas, but have easy access to nicer parts of the city. Penn is nicer, but you won’t be spending much time there as a Drexel student (the campuses are essentially divided by Chestnut St.), and the areas North and West of Drexel’s campus are very gritty and dangerous. So you will have to keep street smarts at both. I would really advise you to visit, and explore the programs you like further.
