It was a fall term for the history books, as Drexel welcomed 2,350 first-year students to virtual classrooms. Below, we’ve assembled stats on who they are and what their fall term was like. Meanwhile, a portion of medical students and graduate students, including the Kline School of Law students photographed here, returned to in-person classes in lecture halls with safe spacing and masks. Starting in January, all undergraduates will have the option of returning to single-occupancy dormitories, and additional classes will be offered in person or hybrid for students who require access to labs and studios.
