Ups and Downs of Drexel

I recently got accepted to Pennoni and I plan to, if I choose Drexel, major in physics. I went to the Accepted Students Day for Drexel just a couple days ago as well and I really liked it. However, I am also considering Villanova. I did some research online regarding the two and I’m leaning toward Drexel, but I found some reviews about the university that I fear could be true. I’ll list them:

A lot of the professors have heavy accents.
– I have no clue whether or not this is true. At least the ones I met had no accents.

Faculty are heavily under-qualified for their jobs.
– I researched the physics professors and found a great majority of them have their PhD s from an Ivy League. So at least for physics that is not true.

Amount and power of the evangelicals there.
– I’m an atheist. I will hate Drexel if it is really that big. And does Villanova push Catholicism similarly?

Only one center for food.
– I saw a lot of establishments in the area, so it seems like it may not be that bad. I am confused about the Dining Dollars system though. Where could I use them and when do they renew/expire?

If anyone could help me answer my questions or validate these claims it would be appreciated. Thank is advance.
