"We have been hosting our staff retreat at Drexel for two years. Overall, our experience has been excellent. This year, we were placed in a new residence hall with apartment-style format with floor lounges that had great city views! The rooms were very comfortable, we enjoyed using the lounges and the location of the residence hall was excellent! Drexel provided a perfect format for our retreat."
