The main campus is located in Philadelphia's University City and is ranked one of the "Best National Universities" by U.S. News & World Report. In 2000, Drexel became the first major university to operate a fully wireless campus; students can access the Internet anywhere - indoors or outdoors - on the 60-acre campus.
