Water, Water Everywhere!

Hello commuters,

You might say this has been a bit of a rough week. If you were like me this morning, you were ill-prepared for the rain that drenched Philadelphia. Biking from 12 blocks away is generally a fun little ride, but it can sometimes be a frustrating experience in the rain. Believe me, most things are more fun than showing up to class late with ice-cold hands, a numb face, and a soggy butt. However, Drexel has a way for students to stay warm and dry, even in the most formidable weather. Check out the Drexel Shuttle Schedule, and if those buses aren't going your way check SEPTA to see if they can take you where you need to go.

Continuing my issues with water this week, I had an unfortunate incident where my apartment partially flooded. Long story short, the drainage line for my washing machine was improperly connected (that is to say... not connected at all). If you think your apartment experience will go smoothly without any problems, think again. You will deal with something during your 4 or 5 (or 6) years in college. Luckily, Drexel is holding workshops to prepare students for life in your new apartment. Tuesday, October 20th Drexel University is holding Off-Campus Living 101 from 4 to 5 pm in Ross Commons Room 304. Know what to expect before you rent.
