I dont know about Drexel gentoo scene but west philly is a very cool place. The mayor was trying to install free wireless all over the whole city. All the trollys and trains are so nice. It is right next to Tempel, PCC and Penn so you will be surounded by computer sci freaks I am shure.
If you are in to culture, food, not being stuck in a car, history or architecture man it is incredable nothing like it on the west coast.
Good choice.

No I never went to collage I lived in the area until I was 24 apprenticing the electrical trade there. I lived between drexel and the art museum for a coupple of years. Philly has some very old traditions, like the mummers parade, and closing down west river drive ( a 4 lane highway) for bikes, joggers, walkers on weekends, lots of community gardens, cobbelstone streets (they pull up all the stones to fix a pipe and just put them back down when they are done), pirate FM radio station still is there, oh and squatting (there used to be urban blight there and gutter punks started living in empty buildings and some how took them over by paying back taxes and kept them now they are worth millions). I guess it depends what you are into. If you like living a normal main stream life in new buildings you will have a hard time, all the new stuff is built to look and feel old. Nothing is normal in west philly. If you like to live cheap you can live in the furthur out neighborhoods like the 48th and Baltimore AV area.

Im living in the Drexel dorms which are newish. Im not sure where im gona live next year, I might get a place it depends on the price of living plus transportation. Philly seems like a great place, I dont mind old buildings just as long as I can use my tech toys  . Philly seems like a fun place. |
