student at desk in dorm

Christian Ear, an international business student in the LeBow College of Business, hit the books to claim first prize in an Instagram contest highlighting the best of Drexel’s unique spots to study. To get to the ledge, he had to climb the dresser in his room and somehow bring up a chair and a foldable table to use as his study table.

Second-place winner Walter Babiy, an undergraduate civil engineering student in the College of Engineering, hiked up to the roof of Main Building for a picture next to the Joseph R. Lynch Observatory, which hosts the largest telescope in Philadelphia (a 16-foot Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain).
