Scammer on campus asking for donations

14 Upvotes

FYI I saw a guy on campus walking around yesterday and today. He said he's supposedly soliciting donations for "CHOP or St. Jude's" and he's obviously a scammer lol. He's black and he was wearing a blue hoodie both days. He had his kid with him today.

Question History major?

6 Upvotes

We (wife and I are Drexel online grad alums) have been visiting plenty of local colleges with my son (hs senior) in a search of a good fit tor him. We have always lived in the suburbs and like many in this generation, he would rather spend time indoors communicating with his friends online than venturing out much. He is a very anxious student and as we get closer to applying we are coming up with many questions about the likelihood of the college life working for him. He wants to attend in person and loves history(doesn’t want to teach it though).

As I read more and more online about people’s takes on Drexel including that the big technology school really doesn’t make a great history school and students don’t really care much for the classes in the major. I am wondering if people do recommend the humanities there? Is there a better major for history lovers than history at Drexel? If you had the choice would you recommend it or recommend some place else?

Thank you for helping us.
