("Fantasy" by Mariah Carey playing)
- I'm Sam Clark with Crimson Education,
and we're here at Drexel University in Philadelphia,
to ask some big questions.
(music continues)
- What is the best thing about Drexel?
- Oh, don't go to me first.
- Oh, co-op. Co-op. I haven't even been on co-op yet,
and I know the answer is co-op.
- Uh, the co-op program.
- I'd probably say the co-ops.
- What is the co-op program?
- So the co-op program is basically
a six-month-long internship.
You can apply to, I guess,
whatever companies are hiring,
and the school kinda gives you the tools
to succeed in your co-op.
- The US open in squash is here.
- Oh, okay.
- What I really like about Drexel is that
how many different types of people you can see
either on your floor, in your building, around campus.
I get to go to all these different buildings
for my class, not just one building.
So I'm experiencing and having classes
with all these different types of people,
it's really interesting.
- What's the best Mariah song?
- Dude, "Fantasy," mate.
- Hit it. Hit it.
- "♪ When you walk by every night,
♪ talkin' sweet and lookin' fine, ♪
♪ I get kinda hectic inside... ♪
♪ Baby, I'm so into you... ♪
♪ (mumbles) Nothing new, ♪
♪ all the fantasies in my mind..." ♪
- "♪ Sweet sweet fantasy, baby..."
- And in contrast, what's the worst thing about Drexel?
- The worst thing about Drexel
is probably the party scene.
It kinda becomes hilarious to the point where
I see a lot of kids going deep into West Philly
to get drunk.
And that's never safe.
Not the best idea.
- Honestly, there's no grocery store here, and that...
As someone who is
trying to save money
by just cooking for themselves,
that is very very frustrating.
It'd be awesome to have a movie theater here as well.
- I think the quarter system is pretty fast.
- Ah, you know, these ten-week quarters,
sometimes they really get you if you fall behind.
But you gotta make sure you can stay on task.
- At times, the food, I'll admit it.
- Yeah, the food here is pretty bad.
So that's why I go blase.
- I got yogurt on a taco.
- And what's a typical weekend like for you?
- We are master's students.
- Okay, well, people are always having parties,
and you know, you're not always...
You don't have to go to all the parties you don't want to.
So if you want to party really hard,
there's parties for that.
If you want to just get together with friends,
there's always stuff to around campus.
There's no pressure.
But you can always find what you're looking for here.
- So a whole balance of options.
- Dancing. Lots of dancing.
Hanging out with Winston.
- Winston. Winston.
- And all of our friends.
- It's... I can tell you.
We went out last night,
and we came back in a little early.
But we saw... yeah.
- I see how it... That's the end of the interview.
- That's it! That's it!
That's, uh...yeah. Good one.
- What did you guys write your
application essays about?
- I wrote my application essay about
wanting to make a car that's cheap and fuel-efficient,
so that people in like 3rd-world countries
may be able to use it.
- I wrote mine about how much I sweat.
Excessive sweating, yeah.
I kind of tied that to hard work.
It was really cheesy, but it got me in,
so here I am.
- Mine was about how you're stereotyped as a dancer,
when you're in that, like, world,
and how it doesn't really have any effect on you.
- What was my application essay about? Jesus Christ.
I think it was about how I...
'Cause I founded a nonprofit in high school,
and I think it was about that.
- I wrote mine on how I'm bilingual
and how I travel a lot with my family,
and how that's shaped my worldview.
- Is there, like, a fight song or something?
- Yeah, we have, like...
Everyone's on court, both teams,
and then you go into a huddle.
And we have one guy dance in the middle, basically.
- We've been to one soccer game.
The cheers weren't...were sub-par.
- Sub-par cheers. Okay.
- I haven't experienced any amazing Drexel chants yet.
- Go Eagles?
- Go Eagles. Go Eagles. Winston's signing off.
