Or which has the worst reputation? I want to apply to one city school in Pennsylvania. I've seen Drexel on lists for least beautiful campus and least helpful teachers. I also heard Temple is in a bad neighborhood.

...I really wouldn't be picking your colleges based off of the princeton review lists. I go to drex and I can tell you that it has a better rep than both those schools. Yeah, the campus isn't the most beautiful... but its def. not the ugliest... theyve been doing shitloads of construction cleanin the place up and makin new buildings. Its a city school so like youre not going to see too many giant rolling green hills... but theres tree lined streets, some pretty cool new buildings, and a new park thatll be done next year. Also... the teachers are plenty helpful if you make an effort. The professors are knowledgable and well trained and I haven't run into one that hasn't helped when I needed it. Drexel gets its bad rep because it tends to be lenient and accept students that aren't ready for the rigorous course load. they have a policy of giving people a chance even if they don't have perfect grades comin into college. So those people tend to fall behind because theyre not babied every step of the way. But its very reputable and you graduate with 3 years co-op experience which employers love. Temple is good too. Just don't wander into the ghetto and youll be fine like everyone else.
