As with all colleges, students look for different areas to hang out. Drexel's campus is no different. Outside of student union are approximately twenty picnic tables, perfect for studying outdoors in nice weather or just hanging out.

Drexel has the only sand volleyball court in Philadelphia. The volleyball court is surrounded by grass and benches.

Passing by the Nesbitt Hall, one would notice the wall outside the gallery, which has been transformed into a chalkboard. The wall has become a message board to notify students of upcoming events.

As one continues down the path between the Armory and Nesbitt Hall, they notice squares which were painted by members of the Greek community during last years' Greek week. Each square has been designed to depict each organization's personality.

Continuing down the same path brings students to the main quad, located between Market and Chestnut. In the middle of the four busiest buildings on campus, is a large square complete with benches, trees and a water fountain. The fountain is named "The Flame of Knowledge."

Waterboy

In the Main Building is a bronze statue, which has been there for decades. According to Drexel tradition rubbing the right toe will be followed by good grades. The "Waterboy" has browned with age, but remains shiny on the right toe.

The "Drexel Shaft" is an old unused smokestack close to campus. The smokestack is said to grown an inch every time something does not go a students' way.

Drexel University is located in the "University City" section of Philadelphia, located across the "great divide", a walkway dividing the two adjoining campuses, from the University of Pennsylvania. Drexel has a true urban college feel. The campus is roughly four city blocks long and six city blocks wide. The campus is surrounded by high traffic volume streets, and like all cities, the area boasts large sidewalks and crosswalks at all intersections.

The Drexel campus displays buildings which distinctly depict a variety of architectural generations. The Main Building was built in 1891, distinct with columns and marble stairs. The twenty-four buildings on campus range in creation from 1876 through the winter of 2005.
