Misc.
Every year, more than one percent of all graduating engineers in the US graduate from Drexel University.
When people think they are getting a bad deal from the University, they often refer to it as getting the "Drexel Shaft". The Drexel Shaft is also a structure on campus, and according to university legend the structure grows one more inch every time a student is shafted.
Drexel University's campus is located right next to University of Pennsylvania.
