Memphis, SMU, Tulane, and ECU.
I actually randomly almost went to SMU, but did not.
SMU out of those 4 was the best. Memphis was probably the worst.
Only been to Temple. Wasn't much.
Quite nice, been to almost all of the SEC stadiums for a game, SMU is right up there with Bama, Ole Miss, and UGA in terms of talentI imagine SMU has the best co-eds by far.

isn't it in an extremely bad area of Philly?
Not great, Temple's hospital, which if further up the road, is worse. I actually think that Drexel is ever worse than Temple as it basically serves as a buffer zone between some really bad areas of Philly and U Penn.

I am in real estate - Student Housing development actually. And, this is so far from the truth that I have to JUMP up.
Thanks. I have not spent any serious time in Philly (getting stuck at the airport numerous times does not count) outside of 1 business trip, where I managed to catch a Temple hoops game. I was told the subway back and forth to Temple while there is a game should not be an issue; but, was warned about going further north towards to medical school. The campus area looked like a typical urban campus; but, it was dark, could not really see around the edges. As for Drexel, have not spent any time there, just near by at the Zoo. Was told the neighborhood where the Zoo is not great and back when I was at UConn, I heard some bad stories form a guy I knew who went to Drexel. I do hope it has improved. I actually spent a lot of time at Northeastern in Boston as met my future wife while she was at school there. It has changed a lot, especially with several new dorms being built and it is nice. That said, it is still an urban campus, unlike BC, and has urban problems, such as when someone did a smash & grab at her apartment. The bad stuff in Boston is down in Mattapan and Blue Hills; but, there has always been safety issues on Northeastern's campus where the Ruggles T station is as there are a pair of projects there, too.

My disclaimer is that I have not lived in Philly since 2002. I worked in North Philly and lived in NE Philly, spent plenty of time around the Temple campus and had friends who went there. It is a ROUGH area. You are literally a block or two away from extreme urban blight. The bad elements in the area stay away from campus but it was far from safe at night and the public transportation around it had some sketchy characters. Drexel and UPenn have nice campuses - but walk a block or two in the wrong direction and it's a different world.Thanks.
